Three polaroid sheets are kept parallel to each other such that the first and the last are crossed. Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ falls normally on the first sheet and passes through all the polaroid sheets. If the intensity of the emerging light from the third sheet is $3 \ W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the axes of the first two polaroid sheets is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ beam of plane polarised light of large cross-sectional area and uniform intensity of $3.3 \, W m^{-2}$ falls normally on a polariser (cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$) which rotates about its axis with an angular speed of $31.4 \, rad/s$. The energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution is close to ........ $\times 10^{-4} \, J$.

$A$ beam of natural light falls on a system of $5$ polaroids,which are arranged in succession such that the pass axis of each polaroid is turned through $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the preceding one. The fraction of the intensity of incident light that passes through the system is:

Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and their transmission axes making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. What fraction of the incident unpolarised light is transmitted? (Express as a percentage)

$A$ cylindrical tube of length $0.2 \,m$ and radius $R$ with sugar solution of concentration $C$ produces a rotation of $\theta$ in the plane of vibration of a plane-polarized light. The same sugar solution is transferred to another tube of length $0.3 \,m$ of the same radius. The remaining gap is filled by distilled water. Now, the optical rotation produced is:
