Light incident on a polarizer is then passed through a second polarizer. If the polarizer and the analyzer are perpendicular to each other, what can you say about the light waves emerging from the second polarizer?

The light waves are partially blocked.

The light waves are completely blocked.

The light waves are of the same intensity as the incident light.

The light waves have three times the intensity of the incident light.

The light waves have half the intensity of the incident light.

Light does not pass second polariser, 
I would choose second statement
