  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} I_0$
  • D

$A$ beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of emergent light is:

An unpolarised light beam of intensity $2 I_{0}$ is passed through a polaroid $P$ and then through another polaroid $Q$ which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ relative to that of $P$. The intensity of the emergent light is.

$A$ mixture of plane polarised and unpolarised light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,the transmitted intensity varies by a factor of $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.
