Unpolarized light is passed through an optical filter that is oriented in the vertical direction. What is the polarization of the light that emerges? partially polarized along the vertical direction linearly polarized along the vertical direction partially polarized along the horizontal direction linearly polarized along the horizontal direction If the incident intensity of the light is 93 W/m^2, what is the intensity I of the light that emerges?

Use the information and images to answer the following question: A physics class is investigating the properties of light using polarizing filters. The students change the orientation of the two filters to see how much light is able to travel through both filters. Unpolarized Light Filter A Filter B To completely block the light, which orientation should the students use for the two filters? A. Filter A should be vertical and Filter B should be at a 45 degree angle. B. Filter A should be vertical and Filter B should be at a 60 degree angle. C. Filter A should be vertical and Filter B should be vertical. D. Filter A should be vertical and Filter B should be horizontal.
