Problem

Natural light falls on a system of three identical in-line Polaroids, the principal direction of the middle Polaroid forming an angle p = 60∘^\circ with those of two other Polaroids. The maximum = transmission coefficient of each Polaroid is equal to v 0.81 when plane-polarized light falls on them. How many times will the intensity of the light decrease after its passing through the system?
