    $\frac{1}{2} I_{0}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} I_{0}$

$n$ polarizing sheets are arranged such that each makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the preceding sheet. An unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on this arrangement. The output intensity is found to be $\frac{I}{64}$. The value of $n$ will be:

$A$ beam of natural light falls on a system of $6$ polaroids,which are arranged in succession such that each polaroid is turned through $30^\circ$ with respect to the preceding one. The percentage of incident intensity that passes through the system will be....$\%$

$A$ mixture of plane-polarized and unpolarized light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,we find that the ratio of maximum to minimum transmitted intensity is $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively,of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.
