Consider 3 polarizers. Polarizer 1 has a vertical transmission axis and polarizer 3 has a horizontal transmission axis. Taken together, polarizers 1 and 3 are a pair of crossed polarizers. Polarizer 2, with a transmission axis of 300 to the vertical, is placed between polarizers 1 and 3. What is the intensity of light transmission through these polarizers given an initial intensity of light lo?

a. 0.375 lo
b. 0.25 l0
c. 0.18 lo
d. 0.09 lo
e. zero
