An unpolarized light of average intensity $I$ is passed through a polarizer. Find the amplitude of electric field of light coming out. (Symbols have their usual meaning)

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{I}{c\epsilon_0}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{4I}{c\epsilon_0}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{4I}{\sqrt{3}c\epsilon_0}}$

In a system of two crossed polarisers,it is found that the intensity of light from the second polariser is half of that from the first polariser. The angle between their pass axes is (in $^{\circ}$)

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 $P_{3}$?

Show that when unpolarized light passes through a polarizer,the intensity of the emerging light is half that of the intensity of the incident light.

After passing through a polariser,a linearly polarised light of intensity $I$ is incident on an analyser making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with that of the polariser. The intensity of light emitted from the analyser will be
