Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and transmission axis making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with each other. What fraction of incident unpolarised light is transmitted (in $\%$)? $(\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2)$

In a system of two crossed polarisers,it is found that the intensity of light from the second polariser is half of that from the first polariser. The angle between their pass axes is (in $^{\circ}$)

Four polaroids are placed such that the optic axis of each is inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the optic axis of the preceding one. If unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ falls on the first polaroid,the intensity of light transmitted from the fourth polaroid is $[\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2]$.
