Find angle between axes of each pair of adjacent polarizers

Reference no: EM13547119

A beam of unpolarized light shines on a stack of five ideal polarizers, set up so that the angles between the polarization axes of pairs of adjacent polarizers are all equal. The intensity of the transmitted beam is reduced from the intensity of the initial beam by a factor of ? = 0.165. Find the angle between the axes of each pair of adjacent polarizers.
