Find the final transmitted intensity (as a percentage of the incident intensity) for unpolarized light passing through two polarizers 90° apart.   Do it again for three polarizers 45° apart from each other. For 9 polarizers all 10° apart. I want to rotate an incident light beam by 90°.  I'll do it by using 181 polarizers in a chain, all separated by 1/2°.   Repeat the calculation for initially unpolarized light and tell me the final transmission intensity. What if instead I used...
