The polarization of a helium-neon laser can change with time. The light from a laser is initially horizontally polarized; as the laser warms up, the light changes to be vertically polarized. Suppose the laser beam passes through a polarizer whose axis is 26? from horizontal.

By what percent does the light intensity transmitted through the polarizer change as the laser warms up?
