$A$ polarized light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through another polarizer whose pass axis makes an angle of $60^o$ with the pass axis of the former. What is the intensity of emergent polarized light from the second polarizer?

  • A
    $I = \frac{I_0}{5}$
  • B
    $I = I_0$
  • C
    $I = \frac{I_0}{4}$
  • D
    $I = \frac{I_0}{6}$

An unpolarized light beam is incident on the polarizer of a polarization experiment and the intensity of the light beam emerging from the analyzer is measured as $100 \text{ Lumens}$. Now,if the analyzer is rotated around the horizontal axis (direction of light) by $30^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction,the intensity of the emerging light will be .......... $\text{ Lumens}$.

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$. Identify the correct choice in the given answers.
$A$. The refractive index of the extra-ordinary ray depends on the angle of incidence in double refraction.
$B$. The vibrations of light waves acquire one-sidedness for both ordinary and extraordinary rays in double refraction.

$A$ polaroid $(I)$ is placed in front of a monochromatic source. Another polaroid $(II)$ is placed in front of this polaroid $(I)$ and rotated until no light passes. $A$ third polaroid $(III)$ is now placed in between $(I)$ and $(II)$. In this case,will light emerge from $(II)$? Explain.

When an unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizing sheet,the intensity of light which does not get transmitted is

Three identical polaroids $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ are placed one after another. The pass axis of $P_2$ and $P_3$ are inclined at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0 = 256 \ W/m^2$. Find the intensity of light at point $O$. (in $W/m^2$)
