Homework 33.33

In Fig. 33-40, initially unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make angles of θ1 = 40o, θ2 = 20o, and θ3 = 40o with the direction of the y axis. What percentage of the light's initial is transmitted by the system? (Hint: Be careful with the angels.)
