Problem 1: Polarizers (10 pts.)
Based on problem 63 in OpenStax chapter 1(volume 3).
A.(3 pts.) Unpolarized sunlight with intensity I0 is incident on the first filter. What is the intensity of the light coming out of the second filter?
B.(2pts. A third polarizer is now added, also at 45 from the second polarizer. What is the intensity of the light coming out of the third polarizer?
C.(2 pts.) Now the middle polarizer is removed (and the other two remain unchanged). What is the final intensity of the light in this case?
D.(3pts. angle of 30 from each other. What would the final intensity be in that case, after removing the middle polarizer?
