The correct answer is:
Plane polarized at to the vertical and having intensity of
The first polaroid alinsisates half the light so that the intensity is reduced by half The light reaching the second polarizer is vertically polarized and so intensity is reduced to
Therefore, transmitted light is plane polarised to the vertical at and having intensity
Therefore, transmitted light is plane polarised to the vertical at and having intensity
