Unpolarized light with intensity 75 W/m2 falls first on a vertically oriented sheet of polarizing material, then on a stack of six polarizers, each set at an angle of 60o degrees clockwise from the last sheet that it is placed on top of. What is the intensity and orientation of the light after passing through the final polarizer? NOTE: make sure your calculator is back in degree mode
