Choose the correct alternative regarding the polarisation of light.

  • A
    When plane polarised light passes through a polaroid,it changes its nature to linearly polarised.
  • B
    Refracted light,when light is incident at Brewster's angle,is linearly polarised.
  • C
    Polarised light can be produced by scattering through $\frac{\pi}{2}$ in the Earth's atmosphere.
  • D
    Natural light from the Sun is polarised.

Through which characteristic can we distinguish light waves from sound waves?

Three linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$,the second one is at $60^{\circ}$,and the third at $90^{\circ}$ to the vertical,all in the clockwise sense. Each polariser additionally absorbs $10 \%$ of the light. If a vertically polarised beam of light of intensity $I=100 \, W/m^2$ is incident on this assembly of polarisers,then the final intensity of the transmitted light will be close to ................ $W/m^2$.

When an unpolarized light of intensity $I_o$ is incident on a polarizing sheet,the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is

Which of the following is a dichroic crystal?

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ passes through an ideal polarizer $A$. Another identical polarizer $B$ is placed behind $A$. The intensity of light beyond $B$ is found to be $\frac{I}{2}$. Now,another identical polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$. The intensity beyond $B$ is now found to be $\frac{I}{8}$. The angle between polarizer $A$ and $C$ is: ......$^{\circ}$
