Thank you so much mfb and misterx, very much appreciated.

ok so essentially the intensity is reduced by cos30^2 every polarizer... so (1/2)(3/4)(3/4)(3/4) = 27/128?

The polarizers are changing in 30 degree increments relative to the preceding polarizer; vertical (90),60,30,horizontal. I am sure that the last polarizer (horizontal) will eliminate any light from getting through, am I correct?

Homework Statement 1.An unpolarized beam of light is incident on a stack of four ideal polarizing filters. Each of the second, third and fourth polarizers is rotated by 30.0o relative to the preceding polarizer. In this way, the axis of the first polarizer is perpendicular to the axis of the...
