Solve the following problem given below:

Problem: Polarized light of intensity 5 Wm-2 emerges from a linear polarizer. The polarized output from this polariser is directed through a second analyzer whose transmission axis is orientated at 30 degrees relative to the transmission axis of the first polarizer.

Part A- Calculate the intensity of the light that emerges from the analyser. The answer is 3.75W/m².

Please also explain, thank you in advance, thank you.
