$n$ 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:

Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \, W m^{-2}$ passes through a combination of three polaroids such that the pass axis of the last polaroid is perpendicular to that of the pass axis of the first polaroid. If the intensity of the emerging light is $3 \, W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the pass axis of the first two polaroids is $............ \, ^{\circ}$.

As shown in the figure,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 angles of $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source $S$ has an intensity of $256 \text{ W/m}^2$. The intensity of light at point $O$ is $........... \text{ W/m}^2$.

$A$ $20 \ cm$ length of a certain solution causes right-handed rotation of $38^{\circ}$. $A$ $30 \ cm$ length of another solution causes left-handed rotation of $24^{\circ}$. The optical rotation caused by a $30 \ cm$ length of a mixture of the above solutions in the volume ratio $1:2$ is

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 .......... $\text{ Lumens}$.
