  • B
    $9.4$
  • C

Unpolarized 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.......$^o$

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 $^{\circ}$)
