Discuss the intensity of transmitted light when a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids.

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?

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axes of the polaroids are perpendicular to each other. Now, another polaroid $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$, bisecting the angle between them. If the intensity of unpolarised light is $I_0$, then the intensity of the transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:

Three polaroid sheets are kept parallel to each other such that the first and the last are crossed. Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ falls normally on the first sheet and passes through all the polaroid sheets. If the intensity of the emerging light from the third sheet is $3 \ W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the axes of the first two polaroid sheets is: (in $^{\circ}$)

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
