Find the character of polarized light after passing in turn through (a) a half-wave plate with slow axis at 45°; (b) a linear polarizer with transmission axis at 45°; (c) a quarter-wave plate with slow axis horizontal. Assume the original light to be linearly polarized vertically. Use the matrix approach and analyze the final Jones vector to describe the product light. (Hint: First find the effect of the HWP alone on the incident light.)
