Question

Unpolarized light that has an intensity of I0 = 840 W/m^2 is incident on a series of polarizing filters as shown in Figure.

If the intensity of the light after the final filter is I3 = 84 W/m^2, what is the orientation of the second polarizer relative to the x axis (denoted q in the figure)? Enter the smaller possible angle between 0 and 90∘. Hint: cos(90−θ)=sinθ and 2sinθcosθ=sin2θ. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
