Problem

Unpolarized light with intensity 120 W ⁣/ ⁣m2120\,\text{W}\!/\!\text{m}^2 passes through three ideal polarizing sheets in sequence. The transmission axis of the first sheet is vertical, the second is oriented 45∘45^{\circ} from the vertical, and the third is horizontal (90∘90^{\circ} from the vertical). Calculate the intensity of the light emerging from the third sheet.
