Answer:
A) After the Space Age ended, many people moved to other states and the economy began to decline.
Explanation:
After the space age ended, businesses slumped, when the space shuttle program ended those made redundant could not be re absorbed due to a lack of follow-on by NASA. The 2008 recession also had impacted businesses in the area. As such many moved to other states, which had the effect of a brain drain.
After Apollo, in the late 70's, there was a similar decline of economic activities as workers were laid off and where finding it hard to sell off their properties as the real estate prices where low.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Malus' law. Malus' law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized ray of light that passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the Polarizer,
I = The resulting intensity, and
= Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.
There is 3 polarizer, then
For the exit of the first polarizer we have that the intensity is,

For the third polarizer then we have,

Replacing with the first equation,



Therefore the transmitted intensity now is
of the initial intensity.
