FIGURE 25-3
-Figure 25-3 shows three polarizing disks having parallel planes with the direction of the transmission axis in each case. The disks are centered on a common axis. If a plane polarized beam of light is incident from left on the first disk with an intensity of 40 W/m². What is the transmitted intensity coming out of the third disk, when θ₁ = 10°, θ₂ = 40°, θ₃ = 70°?

A) 40 W/m²
B) 18 W/m²
C) 1.5 W/m²
D) 0 W/m²
E) 22 W/m²
