Take two ideal Polaroids (the first with its axis vertical and the second, horizontal) and insert between them a stack of 10 half-wave plates, the first with its fast axis rotated π/40 rad from the vertical, and each subsequent one rotated π/40 rad from the previous one. Determine the ratio of the emerging to incident irradiance, showing your logic clearly.
