  • A
    $A\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $A/\sqrt{2}$
  • C

Which property can be used to distinguish between light waves and sound waves?

$A$ 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 emergent light is:

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed perpendicularly in the path of a beam of unpolarized light. In between these two,a third polaroid $C$ is placed at an angle of $30^o$ with that of $A$. The percentage of intensity of incident unpolarized light that emerges from $B$ is ........$\%$.

View Solution

An unpolarised beam of light is incident on a group of three polarising sheets arranged such that the angle between the axes of any two adjacent sheets is $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the intensities of polarised light emerging from the second and third sheets is

Light waves can be polarized because
