$A$ polariser is used to

Two linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$ from the vertical,while the second one is at $60^{\circ}$ from the vertical,both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I_{0}=20 \,W/m^{2}$ is incident on this pair of polarisers,then the intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ transmitted by the first and second polarisers respectively,will be close to:

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one on top of the other. What must be the angle between the characteristic directions of the sheets if the intensity of the final transmitted light is one-third the maximum intensity of the first transmitted beam.......$^o$

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively. Which of the following phenomena establishes the transverse nature of light?

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is scattered from point $A$. What is the intensity of light perceived by the given observer?
