An unpolarised light of intensity $I$ is passed through two polaroids kept one after the other with their planes parallel to each other. The intensity of light emerging from the second polaroid is $\frac{I}{4}$. The angle between the pass axes of the polaroids is (in $^{\circ}$)

An unpolarised light beam of intensity $2 I_{0}$ is passed through a polaroid $P$ and then through another polaroid $Q$ which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ relative to that of $P$. The intensity of the emergent light is.

Define unpolarized light and polarized light.

Unpolarised light from air is incident on the surface of a transparent medium of refractive index $1.414$ such that the reflected light is completely polarised. Match the angles given in List-$I$ with the corresponding values given in List-$II$.

$A$. Angle of reflection	$(i)$ $2 \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
$B$. Angle of refraction	$(ii)$ $\sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right) - \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$C$. Angle between incident and completely polarised light	$(iii)$ $\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$D$. Angle of deviation of the incident ray	$(iv)$ $\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$

The figure shows four pairs of polarizing sheets,seen face-on. Each pair is mounted in the path of initially unpolarized light. The polarizing direction of each sheet (indicated by the dashed line) is referenced to either a horizontal $x$-axis or a vertical $y$-axis. Rank the pairs according to the fraction of the initial intensity that they pass,greatest first.

In the visible region of the spectrum,the rotation of the plane of polarization is given by $\theta = a + \frac{b}{\lambda^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be $30^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $50^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$. The value of constant $a$ will be:
