Question

A beam of unpolarized light of intensity $I_{0}$ passes through a series of ideal polarizing filters with their polarizing directions turned to various angles as shown in Fig. 33.42 (a) What is the light intensity (in terms of $I_{0} )$ at points $A, B,$ and $C ?$ (b) If we remove the middle filter, what will be the light intensity at point $C ?$
