When unpolarised light is passed through crossed polaroids, then light passing through the first polaroid:

  • A
    also passes through the second polaroid.
  • B
    partially passes through the second polaroid.
  • C
    is blocked by the second polaroid.
  • D
    passes with greater intensity.

$n$ 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:

$A$ 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.

The intensity of incident unpolarized light on a polaroid is $I_1$ and the intensity of emergent polarized light from this polaroid is $I_2$. The relation between $I_1$ and $I_2$ is $.......$

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:

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