The figure shows four pairs of polarizing sheets, seen face-on. Each pair is mounted in the path of initially unpolarized light. The polarizing direction of each sheet (indicated by the dashed line) is referenced to either a horizontal x axis or a vertical y axis. Rank the pairs according to the fraction of the initial intensity that they pass, greatest first. 60 (a) (6) () (d) (P-T-O)
