Three polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at angles of 29.4 and 59.8°, respectively, to that of the first. If unpolarized light is incident on the stack, the light has an intensity of 73.5 W/cm² after it passes through the stack. Part A If the incident intensity is kept constant, what is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the second polarizer is removed? I= IΫΠ ΑΣΦ ? W/cm²

A uniform thin film of material of refractive index 1.40 coats a glass plate of refractive index 1.55. This film has the proper thickness to cancel normally incident light of wavelength 525 nm that strikes the film surface from air, but it is somewhat greater than the minimum thickness to achieve this cancellation. As time goes by, the film wears away at a steady rate of 4.20 nm per year. Part A What is the minimum number of years before the reflected light of this wavelength is now enhanced instead of cancelled?
