$A$ plane polarised light passes through successive polarisers which are rotated by $30^{\circ}$ with respect to each other in the clockwise direction. Neglecting absorption by the polarisers and given that the first polariser's axis is parallel to the plane of polarisation of the incident light,the intensity of light at the exit of the fifth polariser is closest to

Two polaroids have their polarizing directions parallel so that the intensity of a transmitted light is maximum. The angle through which either polaroid must be turned if the intensity is to drop by one-half is.....$^o$

Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and transmission axis making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with each other. What fraction of incident unpolarised light is transmitted (in $\%$)? $(\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2)$

$A$ point source $S$ emits unpolarized light uniformly in all directions. At two points $A$ and $B$,the ratio $r = I_A / I_B$ of the intensities of light is $2$. If a set of two polaroids having $45^{\circ}$ angle between their pass-axes is placed just before point $B$,then the new value of $r$ 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.
