The concept required to solve this problem is Malus law.
Initially solve for the angle between the light's initial polarization direction and the axis of the polarizer. Then, use the Malus law to calculate the emerging power.
The law of Malus gives the intensity of emerging light pulse.
Here, is the initial intensity, and is the angle between the light's initial polarization direction and the axis of the polarizer.
The incident light is horizontally polarized. The polarizer makes an angle of to the vertical. The angle between the horizontal and vertical is Thus, angle between the light's initial polarization direction and the axis of the polarizer is,
The Power is directly proportional to Intensity of light.
Here, P is the power, and I is the intensity.

"A 50 mW laser beam is polarized horizontally. It then passes through two polarizers. The axis of the first polarizer is oriented at 30° from the horizontal, and that of the second is oriented at 60° from the horizontal. What is the power of the transmitted beam?" -Thank you in advance for your help
Light that passes through a series of three polarizing filters emerges from the third filter horizontally polarized with an intensity of 225 W/m2. If the polarization angle between the filters increases by 25° from one filter to the next, find the intensity of the incident beam of light, assuming it is initially unpolarized.
An unpolarized beam of light with intensity 3 MW/m2 passes through two polarizing filters. The first filter is vertically polarized, and the second filter has a polarization axis 15 degrees away from horizontal. What is the intensity of the beam that exits the second filter?
The polarization of a helium-neon laser can change with time. The light from a 1.5 mW laser is initially horizontally polarized; as the laser warms up, the light changes to be vertically polarized. Suppose the laser beam passes through a polarizer whose axis is 35 ∘ from horizontal. By what percent does the light intensity transmitted through the polarizer decrease as the laser warms up?
Light that passes through a series of three polarizing filters emerges from the third filter horizontally polarized with an intensity of 230 W/m22. 1) If the polarization angle between the filters increases by 25∘∘ from one filter to the next, find the intensity of the incident beam of light, assuming it is initially unpolarized.

A beam of polarized light passes through a polarizing filter. When the angle between the polarizing axis of the filter and the direction of polarization of the light is 29 ∘, the intensity of the emerging beam is I A) If you instead want the intensity to be I/2, what should be the angle between the filter axis and the original direction of polarization of the light?
A man sends a beam of red light along the z-axis through a polaroid filter that passes only x-polarized light. The beam is initially polarized at 30 degrees to the x-axis. The beam subsequently is passed through a filter which lets through only right-circularly-polarized light. (a) Write down the basis corresponding to the 30 degrees, linearly polarized basis in terms of R and L basis. (b) Evaluate the relative intensity of the beam of red light after light after it...
