**Transcription for Educational Website:****Topic: Polarization and Malus's Law**Three polarizing plates whose planes are parallel are centered on a common axis. The directions of the transmission axes relative to the common vertical direction are shown in the figure below. A linearly polarized beam of light, with its plane of polarization parallel to the vertical reference direction, is incident from the left onto the first disk with an intensity \(I_i = 12.0\) units (arbitrary). Calculate the transmitted intensity \(I_f\) when \(\theta_1 = 17.0^\circ\), \(\theta_2 = 35.0^\circ\), and \(\theta_3 = 55.0^\circ\). **Hint:** Make repeated use of Malus's law.**Intensity Calculation:**\[ I_f = \text{________} \text{ units} \]**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram illustrates a sequence of three polarizing plates. Each plate is shown with a circular disk, symbolizing the polarizing filter, and is labeled with its respective angle (\(\theta_1\), \(\theta_2\), \(\theta_3\)) which denotes the orientation of the transmission axis relative to the vertical.- The first plate is labeled with angle \(\theta_1 = 17.0^\circ\).- The second plate is labeled with \(\theta_2 = 35.0^\circ\).- The third plate is labeled \(\theta_3 = 55.0^\circ\).An incident light beam of intensity \(I_i\) enters from the left side of the first plate. After passing through each plate, the light intensity is reduced based on the angle and Malus's law, leading to the final transmitted intensity \(I_f\) at the right end of the third plate.

Learning Goal: To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters. The two transverse waves shown in the figure (Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The upper wave is described as polarized in the +x direction whereas the lower wave is polarized in the +y direction. In general, waves can be polarized along any direction. Recall that electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and X rays, consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The polarization of an electromagnetic wave refers to the oscillation direction of the electric field, not the magnetic field. In this problem all figures depicting light waves illustrate only the electric field. A linear polarizing filter,…
