Four polaroids are placed such that the optic axis of each is inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the optic axis of the preceding one. If unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ falls on the first polaroid,the intensity of light transmitted from the fourth polaroid is $[\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2]$.

  • A
    $\frac{9 I_0}{32}$
  • B
    $\frac{27 I_0}{128}$
  • C
    $\frac{35 I_0}{128}$
  • D
    $\frac{27 I_0}{32}$

The pass-axes of two polarisers were kept such that the incident unpolarised beam of intensity $I_0$ gets completely blocked. Another polariser was introduced in between these two polarisers with its pass-axis at $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the pass-axis of the first one. The output intensity would then become

$A$ polarizer-analyser set is adjusted such that the intensity of light coming out of the analyser is $10 \%$ of the original intensity. Assuming that the polarizer-analyser set does not absorb any light,the angle by which the analyser needs to be rotated further to reduce the output intensity to zero is.....$^o$

When a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids,then the transmitted light intensity will be maximum for a rotation of: (in $^{\circ}$)
