Unpolarized light is incident on a system of three ideal polarizers. The second polarizer is oriented at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the first, and the third is oriented at an angle of 45.0° with respect to the first. If the light that emerges from the system has an intensity of 25.9 W/m2, what is the intensity of the incident light?

causes

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

human population grows worldwide

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

i think the answer is tomato juice? not entirely sure though
