$A$ 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 the emergent light is

  • A
    $\frac{I_0}{8}$
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $\frac{I_0}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{4}$

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:

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 $P_{3}$?

$A$ $20 \ cm$ length of a certain solution causes right-handed rotation of $38^{\circ}$. $A$ $30 \ cm$ length of another solution causes left-handed rotation of $24^{\circ}$. The optical rotation caused by a $30 \ cm$ length of a mixture of the above solutions in the volume ratio $1:2$ is

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively. Which of the following phenomena establishes the transverse nature of light?

The angle between the polarizer and the analyzer is $45^o$. The percentage of polarized light passing through the analyzer is........$\%$
