The light then passes through a horizontal filter, which blocks all of the light; the intensity transmitted through the pair of filters is zero. Suppose a third polarizer with axis 45° from vertical is inserted between the first two. What is the transmitted intensity now?

Unpolarized light passes through a vertical polarizing filter, emerging with an intensity I0. The light then passes through a horizontal filter, which blocks all of the light; the intensity transmitted through the pair of filters is zero. Suppose a third polarizer with axis 45° from vertical is inserted between the first two. What is the transmitted intensity now?
A beam of partially polarized light can be considered to be a mixture of polarized and unpolarized light. Suppose we send such a beam through a polarizing filter and then rotate the filter through 360° while keeping it perpendicular to the beam. If the transmitted intensity varies by a factor of 5.0 during the rotation, what fraction of the intensity of the original beam is associated with the beam’s polarized light?
An unpolarized beam of light (intensity I0) is moving in the x-direction. The light passes through three ideal polarizers whose transmission axes are (in order) at angles 0.0°, 48.0°, and 22.0° counterclockwise from the y-axis in the yz-plane.
If the polarizer in the middle is removed, what is the intensity and polarization of the light transmitted by the last polarizer?
