Natural light falls on a system of three polarizers with transmission coefficients 0.9, 0.92 and 0.95, respectively, and the transmission planes of these polarizers are angles of 20 °. How will the intensity of light that has passed through all polarizers change if the angle of rotation of the latter polarizer increase by 10 °, and the angle of rotation of the second - decrease by 10 °?
