Unpolarized light is passed through polarizer 1 . The light then goes though polarizer 2 with its plane of polarization at 30.0° to that of polarizer 1 . Polarizer 3 is placed after polarizer 2 . Polarizer 3 has its plane of polarization at 30.0° to the plane of polarization of polarizer 2 and at 60.0° to that of polarizer 1 . What fraction of the intensity of the original light gets though

the last polarizer?
a. 0.707
c. 0.281
b. 0.125
d. 0.553
