Chapter 25.7, Problem 2aTH

Unpolarized light of intensity I 0 incident on a pair of (ideal) polarizers, as shown below. The direction of polarization of the first polarizer is vertical. The second polarizer has unknown orientation.

For each part below, determine whether it is possible for the light that reaches the observer to have the given value of intensity.

Unpolarized light with intensity I  0 ​   is incident on an ideal polarizing fiter. The emerging lipht strkes a second ideal polarizing fiter whose axis is at 380  ∘   to that of the frist. Determine the intensity of the beam after it has passed through the second polarizer Express your asnwer as a multiple of intensity I  0 ​   . Part B Determine its state of polarization The inght is ineatly polarized along the axis of the first fiter The ught is inearfy polarized along the aus of the second fiter The light is inearly polarized perpencicular to the avds of the second fiter. The loht is inearly posarized perpendcular to the avs of the first fiter.    No gpt please,hand written please
Hi! Please read everything first before answering. Read carefully as well because you might be confused.I asked this question already here in Bartleby but I have not received the exact answer The question is:Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on two polarizers as sketched in Figure B. Suppose the angle between the axes of the two polarizers is θ = 60°. What is the intensity of the transmitted light? EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. And I got the answer 0.125 I₀. The question says THE ANSWER SHOULD BE EXPRESSED AS A FRACTION OF I₀. The answer I got is decimal and i don't know how i will turn it to fraction. I am not sure if converting it to fraction is correct so I am seeking for your help. Please help me. What I just need is TO EXPRESS MY ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. Thank you!
Unpolarized light is sent through a system of polarizers. The initial system is made up of two fixed polarizers at 90° shown in the figure. Is it possible to add one more polarizer and increase the intensity of light exiting the system? If not explain why not. If so, explain where you would put the additional polarizer and what would be the best angle
