Statement-$1$: The blue part of the sky is clearly visible through a calcite crystal. The intensity of the transmitted light changes as the crystal is rotated.
Statement-$2$: Light from the sky is due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere.

The figure shows a glass plate placed vertically on a horizontal table. $A$ beam of unpolarised light falls on its surface at the polarising angle of $57^\circ$ with the normal. The electric vector in the reflected light on screen $S$ will vibrate with respect to the plane of incidence in a:

$A$ 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.

What is partially polarised light?

An unpolarized light of certain intensity passes through a combination of two polarizers whose transmission axes are at $30^\circ$ and $90^\circ$, respectively, with respect to the horizontal axis. $A$ third polarizer with its transmission axis at $60^\circ$ with the horizontal axis is placed between the two existing polarizers. The ratio of the output intensities with and without the third polarizer is . . . . . . .
