  • A
    $\frac{I_0}{2}$
  • B

Light passes successively through two polarimeter tubes,each of length $0.29 \ m$. The first tube contains a dextrorotatory solution of concentration $60 \ kg/m^3$ and specific rotation $0.01 \ rad \ m^2/kg$. The second tube contains a laevorotatory solution of concentration $30 \ kg/m^3$ and specific rotation $0.02 \ rad \ m^2/kg$. The net rotation produced is.......$^\circ$.

Unpolarised light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one on top of the other. What must be the angle between the characteristic directions of the sheets if the intensity of the final transmitted light is one-third the maximum intensity of the first transmitted beam?

Indicate the signals used for unpolarised,polarised,and partially polarised light.

An unpolarized light beam is incident on the polarizer of a polarization experiment and the intensity of the light beam emerging from the analyzer is measured as $100 \text{ Lumens}$. Now,if the analyzer is rotated around the horizontal axis (direction of light) by $30^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction,the intensity of the emerging light will be .......... $\text{ Lumens}$.

When an unpolarized light of intensity $I_{0}$ is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is
