Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axis of 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 transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{I_0}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{I_0}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{I_0}{8}$
  • D
    $0$

An unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ passes through a polarizer, then through a certain optically active solution, and finally through an analyzer. If the angle between the analyzer and the polarizer is $0^{\circ}$ and the intensity of light emerging from the analyzer is $\frac{3}{8} I_0$, the angle of rotation of the light by the solution with respect to the analyzer is . . . . . . degrees.

Which of the following diagrams represents the variation of the electric field vector magnitude with time for a circularly polarized light?

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on a system of two polarizers,$A$ followed by $B$. The intensity of emergent light is $I/2$. If a third polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$,the intensity of emergent light is reduced to $I/3$. The angle between the polarizers $A$ and $C$ is $\theta$. Then:
