Unpolarized light with an intensity of 100W/m^2 passes through a polarizing filter completely vertical. It then passes through a second polarizing filter (an analyzer) with an angle of 30 degrees, relative to the first one. What is the intensity of the light (in Watts per meter squared as it passes through the second filter? Do NOT round, and do NOT include a unit in your answer.
