$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^{\circ}$ to an incoming linearly polarized light of intensity $I_0$. The intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarization will be:

Three polaroid sheets $P_{1}, P_{2}$ and $P_{3}$ are kept parallel to each other such that the angle between pass axes of $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ is $45^{\circ}$ and that between $P_{2}$ and $P_{3}$ is $45^{\circ}$. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity $128 \ Wm^{-2}$ is incident on $P_{1}$,what is the intensity of light coming out of $P_{3}$?

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axes of the 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 the transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:

The transverse nature of light was confirmed by the phenomenon of

Three identical polaroids $P_1, P_2$, and $P_3$ are placed one after another. The pass axes of $P_2$ and $P_3$ are inclined at angles of $60^\circ$ and $90^\circ$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0$. The intensity of light finally coming out is
