Unpolarized light falls on a stack of three polarized sheets. The transmission axes of the top and bottom sheets are at 90 degrees by respect to each other. The middle sheet has its transmission axis aligned at 45 degrees by respect to the top and bottom sheets. What fraction of incident unpolarized intensity is transmitted during the stack?
