Question:

A polarized beam of light has intensity I0. We want to rotate the direction of polarization by 90.0 ° using polarizing sheets.
(a) Explain why we must use at least two sheets.
(b) What is the transmitted intensity if we use two sheets, each of which rotates the direction of polarization by 45.0°?
(c) What is the transmitted intensity if we use four sheets, each of which rotates the direction of polarization by 22.5°?
