Solving a problem in physics section 18 point 55 optics

55. The quartz plate thickness d = 2 mm (specific optical rotation of quartz 15 deg / mm), cut perpendicular to the optical axis, placed between crossed Nicol prisms. Neglecting the loss of light in Nicole determine how many times will decrease the intensity of the light passing the system.
