Choose the correct alternative regarding the polarisation of light.

  • A
    When plane polarised light passes through a polaroid,it changes its nature to linearly polarised.
  • B
    Refracted light,when light is incident at Brewster's angle,is linearly polarised.
  • C
    Polarised light can be produced by scattering through $\frac{\pi}{2}$ in the Earth's atmosphere.
  • D
    Natural light from the Sun is polarised.

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

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 . . . . . . .

What is a polarizer and an analyser?

Which of the following is a dichroic crystal?

$A$ beam of plane polarized light falls normally on a polarizer of cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$. The flux of energy of the incident ray is $10^{-3} \, W$. The polarizer rotates with an angular frequency of $31.4 \, rad/s$. The energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution is:
