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:

  • A
    $\cos \theta = (2/3)^{1/4}$
  • B
    $\cos \theta = (1/3)^{1/4}$
  • C
    $\cos \theta = (1/3)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $\cos \theta = (2/3)^{1/2}$

How can it be determined whether a given light is unpolarized,plane-polarized,or partially plane-polarized?

Choose the $CORRECT$ option for electric field components of unpolarized light passing through a polarizing sheet.

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 $^{\circ}$)

Two beams,$A$ and $B$,of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam $A$ has maximum intensity (and beam $B$ has zero intensity),a rotation of the polaroid through $30^{\circ}$ makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively,then $\frac{I_A}{I_B} = $
