8. A polarized light is incident on several polarizing disks whose planes are parallel and centered on common axis. Suppose that the transmission axis of the first polarizer is rotated 18 relative to the axis of polarization of the incident light, and that the transmission axis of each additional analyzer is rotated 18 relative to the transmission axis of the previous one. What is the maximum number of polarizer needed (whole number), so the transmitted light through all polarizing sheets has an intensity that is equal at least 6% that striking the first polarizer? 8.
