A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 450 W/m2. This wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). Polarizer A is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ1 = 32.6° with the incident electric field. Polarizer B has its axis at an angle of θ2 = 75.8° with the incident electric field, as shown in the figure.
