An unpolarized light passes through three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make an angle of $30^o$,$60^o$,and $30^o$ with the $y$-axis in the same sense. What fraction of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

The pass-axes of two polarisers were kept such that the incident unpolarised beam of intensity $I_0$ gets completely blocked. Another polariser was introduced in between these two polarisers with its pass-axis at $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the pass-axis of the first one. The output intensity would then become

When unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizing sheet,the intensity of light that does not pass through is:

In the propagation of light waves,the angle between the direction of vibration and the plane of polarization is ....$^o$.
