The image of this setup attached to this question as obtained from online is attached to this solution.
Solution
3) When unpolarized light passes through a single polarizer, the intensity of the light is cut in half.
Hence, if the initial intensity of unpolarized light is I₀ = 80 W/m²
The intensity of the light rays thay pass through the first single polarizer = I₁ = (I₀/2) = (80/2) = 40 W/m²
- According to Malus' law, the intensity of transmitted light through a polarizer is related to the intensity of the incident light and the angle at which the polarizer is placed with respect to the major axis of the polarizer before the current polarizer of concern.
I₂ = I₁ cos² θ
where
I₂ = intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer = ?
I₁ = Intensity of light from the first polarizer that is incident upon the second polarizer = 40 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the first and second polarizer = 30°
I₂ = 40 (cos² 30°) = 40 (0.8660)² = 30 W/m²
In the same vein, the intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer is related to the intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer and is incident upon this third/additional polarizer through
I₃ = I₂ cos² θ
I₃ = intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer = ?
I₂ = Intensity of light from the second polarizer that is incident upon the third/additional polarizer = 30 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the second and third/additional polarizer = 60° (although, it is 90° with respect to the first polarizer, it is the angle it makes with the major axis of the second polarizer, 60°, that matters)
I₃ = 30 (cos² 60°) = 30 (0.5)² = 7.5 W/m²
Hope this Helps!!!
