Originally, light is unpolarized. It then travels through 3 polarizers: the first with its transmission axis aligned vertical, the next at a 30 degree angle to the vertical and the last aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (tilted the same direction as the first with respect to the vertical). The original intensity of light is 4 W/m2.

Q. What is the intensity of light after the second polarizer?
________W/m2

Q. What is the intensity of light after the third polarizer?
________W/m2

Q. If the second polarizer is aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (just like the third), what is the final intensity of light after the third polarizer?
________W/m2
