As shown in the figure, the orientation of the transmission axis for each of three ideal polarizing sheets is labeled relative to the vertical direction. A beam of light, polarized in the vertical direction, is incident on the first polarizer with an intensity of 1.00 kW/m². What is the intensity of the beam after it has passed through the three polarizing sheets when θ₁ = 30°, θ₂ = 30°, and θ₃= 60°? A) 141 W/m² B) 316 W/m² C) 433 W/m² D) 563 W/m² E) 188 W/m²
