A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is sent through two sheets of polarizing material. The first sheet, A, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 30° with respect to the incident electric field of the wave. The second sheet, B, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 90° with the incident electric field of the wave. The incident beam has an electric field of peak magnitude E0 and average intensity S0.
-Suppose that A and B are interchanged so that the wave is first incident upon B. What is the average wave intensity after passing through both polarizing sheets?
A) 0.19S0
B) 0.34S0
C) 0.43S0
D) 0.50S0
E) zero
