Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$. Identify the correct choice in the given answers.
$A$. The refractive index of the extra-ordinary ray depends on the angle of incidence in double refraction.
$B$. The vibrations of light waves acquire one-sidedness for both ordinary and extraordinary rays in double refraction.

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

$n$ polarizing sheets are arranged such that each makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the preceding sheet. An unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on this arrangement. The output intensity is found to be $\frac{I}{64}$. The value of $n$ will be:

Unpolarized light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ passes through three polarizers such that the transmission axes of the first and second polarizers make an angle of $30^\circ$ with each other,and the transmission axis of the last polarizer is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of the final emerging light will be.......$W m^{-2}$
