To solve the problem of finding the fraction of incident light transmitted through two polaroids oriented at a 45-degree angle to each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have two polaroids. The first polaroid is oriented perpendicular to the incident unpolarized light, and the second polaroid is oriented at a 45-degree angle to the first. 2. **Intensity after the First Polaroid**: ...
