Question: 1 . ( 2 0 Marks ) Four polarizing sheets are stacked as follows: the first is at 4 0 . 0 clockwise ( CW

1.(20 Marks) Four polarizing sheets are stacked as follows: the first is at 40.0 clockwise (CW) with the vertical, the second is horizontal, the third is at an angle of 70.0 CW with the vertical and the fourth is vertical
What fraction of the incident light is transmitted by this system if
a) the incident light lo is wepolarized!
b) the incident light lo is horizontally polarized?
For the remainder of the problem assume that Is 600 W/m^2 and is vertically polarized.
c) Calculate the transmitted intensity if the second polarizer is removed.
d) What would be the transmitted intensity if the second and the third polarizer are exchanged?
e) If the fourth polarizer is removed, what should be the angle (with the vertical) of the second polarizer so that maximum intensity can be transmitted through the system? Calculate this maximum intensity
f
