Light Emerges from a Polarizer That Has Its Transmission Axis

question 36

Multiple Choice

Light emerges from a polarizer that has its transmission axis located along the x axis. The light then passes through two additional sheets of polarizing material. It is desired to orient the two sheets so that, after passing through both of them, the electromagnetic wave has the maximum possible intensity and is polarized 90° with respect to the x axis. How should the transmission axes of the sheets be oriented? Note: the following answers give the angles that the transmission axes make with respect to the x axis.
