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:

$A$ polarized light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through another polarizer whose pass axis makes an angle of $60^o$ with the pass axis of the former. What is the intensity of emergent polarized light from the second polarizer?

$A$ beam of plane polarized light falls normally on a polarizer of cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$. The flux of energy of the incident ray is $10^{-3} \, W$. The polarizer rotates with an angular frequency of $31.4 \, rad/s$. The energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution is:

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axis of polaroids are perpendicular to each other. Now,another polaroid $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$ bisecting the angle between them. If the intensity of unpolarised light is $I_0$,then the intensity of transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:
