A.) Polarized light is incident on 6 polarizing sheets. The axis of the first polarized sheet makes an angle 0 with the plane of polarization. Each subsequent sheet has an axis that is rotated by an angle e from that of adjacent sheets. Find e if 34% of the incident intensity is transmitted by the sheets. B.)
