In the propagation of light waves,the angle between the direction of vibration and the plane of polarization is ....$^o$.

In the visible region of the spectrum,the rotation of the plane of polarization is given by $\theta = a + \frac{b}{\lambda^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be $30^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $50^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$. The value of constant $a$ will be:

Two Nicol prisms are inclined at an angle of $60^o$ to each other. What percentage of the incident unpolarized light passes through the system?

Three polaroid sheets are co-axially placed as indicated in the diagram. Pass axes of the polaroids $2$ and $3$ make $30^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with the pass axis of polaroid sheet $1$. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the incident unpolarised light entering sheet $1$,the intensity of the emergent light through sheet $3$ is

The angle between the axes of a polariser and an analyser is $45^{\circ}$. If the intensity of the unpolarized light incident on the polariser is $I$,then the intensity of the light emerged from the analyser is
