Answer #1

Let original intensity of light=I0

According to Law of malus

I=I0cos2

Intesity of light when light pass through first polarizer

I1=I0cos2(15)=0.93I0

Intesity of light when light pass through 2ndpolarizer

I2=.93I0cos2(60)=.23I0

Intesity of light when light pass through3rd polarizer

I3=0.23I0cos2(90)=0
