$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^o$ to an incoming light of intensity $I_0$. Now the intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarisation would be

  • A
    $I_0$
  • B
    $I_0/2$
  • C
    $I_0/4$
  • D
    zero

Which property can be used to distinguish between light waves and sound waves?

$A$ beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of emergent light is:

The intensity of transmitted light when a polaroid sheet is placed between two crossed polaroids at $22.5^{\circ}$ from the polarization axis of one of the polaroids is (where $I_0$ is the intensity of polarized light after passing through the first polaroid):

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed perpendicularly in the path of a beam of unpolarized light. In between these two,a third polaroid $C$ is placed at an angle of $30^o$ with that of $A$. The percentage of intensity of incident unpolarized light that emerges from $B$ is ........$\%$.
