The angle between a polarizer and an analyzer is $60^o$. If light with an amplitude $A$ is incident on the polarizer,what is the amplitude of the light emerging from the analyzer?

  • A
    $A/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $A\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2}$
  • D
    $A/2$

Plane polarised light is passed through a polaroid. On viewing through the polaroid,we find that when the polaroid is given one complete rotation about the direction of the light,one of the following is observed:

The relation $I = I_0 \cos^2 \theta$ is known as (where $I_0$ is the intensity of incident light on the analyser,$I$ is the intensity of emergent light from the analyser,and $\theta$ is the angle between the plane of polarization and the axis of the analyser):

Three polaroid sheets are co-axially placed as indicated in the diagram. Pass axes of the polaroids $2$ and $3$ make $30^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with the pass axis of polaroid sheet $1$. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the incident unpolarised light entering sheet $1$,the intensity of the emergent light through sheet $3$ is

Two polaroids have their polarizing directions parallel so that the intensity of a transmitted light is maximum. The angle through which either polaroid must be turned if the intensity is to drop by one-half is.....$^o$

When unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizer,what will be the intensity of the light that does not pass through it?
