Vertically polarized light of irradiance I0 is incident on a series of N successive linear polarizers, each with its transmission axis offset from the previous one by a small angle θ. With the help of the Law of Malus, determine the value of N such that the final transmitted irradiance is IN = 0.9 I0 when the small angle offsets sum to 90°, that is when the initial vertical polarization is rotated to a horizontal polarization.
