To solve the problem of finding the percentage of incident intensity that emerges from a system of four polaroids arranged such that each is turned through \(30^\circ\) with respect to the preceding one, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Intensity**: Let the initial intensity of the ordinary light beam be \(I_0\). 2. **First Polaroid**: When unpolarized light passes through the first polaroid, the intensity is reduced to half. Therefore, the intensity after the first polaroid \(I_1\) is given by: \[ ...
