Problem 108GP
Four polarizers are set up so that the transmission axis of each successive polarizer is rotated clockwise by an angle θ relative to the previous polarizer. Find the angle θ for which unpolarized light is transmitted through these four polarizers with its intensity reduced by a factor of 25.
