Homework Statement
Unpolarized light passes through 4 polarizing filters. The polarizing direction of each filter is offset by 25 degrees from the filter in front of it. Find the fraction of light that gets through all four filters.
Homework Equations
I=I0Cos2θ
The Attempt at a Solution
From my class notes, the professor worked a very similar problem in which there were two polarizing filters. He used (1/2)I0Cos2θ to solve for the answer. So I used (1/4)I0Cos2θ and got .2053, and the answer is supposed to be .277. Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong here?
