Three sequential polarizing filters oriented at 0^\circ, 45^\circ, and 90^\circ relative to the vertical y-axis.
Three sequential polarizing filters oriented at 0^\circ, 45^\circ, and 90^\circ relative to the vertical y-axis.
A beam of unpolarized light with initial intensity \(I_0\) travels parallel to the \(z\)-axis and passes sequentially through three ideal polarizing filters aligned in parallel \(xy\)-planes. Filter 1 has its transmission axis oriented vertically along the \(y\)-axis (\(0^\circ\)), Filter 2 has its transmission axis oriented at an angle of \(45^\circ\) clockwise relative to the \(y\)-axis, and Filter 3 has its transmission axis oriented horizontally along the \(x\)-axis (\(90^\circ\) clockwise relative to the \(y\)-axis). Which of the following correctly identifies the transmitted light intensity \(I_2\) after Filter 2, the transmitted light intensity \(I_3\) after Filter 3, and the orientation of the electric field oscillations of the light after Filter 3?
