Two polaroids $P_1$ and $P_2$ are placed with their axes perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on $P_1$. $A$ third polaroid $P_3$ is kept in between $P_1$ and $P_2$ such that its axis makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with that of $P_1$. The intensity of transmitted light through $P_2$ is
- A$\frac{I_0}{4}$
- B$\frac{I_0}{8}$
- C$\frac{I_0}{16}$
- D$\frac{I_0}{2}$

The relation $I = I_0 \cos^2 \theta$ is known as (where $I_0$ is the intensity of incident light on the analyser,$I$ is the intensity of emergent light from the analyser,and $\theta$ is the angle between the plane of polarization and the axis of the analyser):
An unpolarised beam of intensity $2 a^{2}$ passes through a thin polaroid. Assuming zero absorption in the polaroid,the intensity of emergent plane polarised light is

View SolutionTwo polaroids are placed in the path of an unpolarised beam of intensity $I_0$ such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid,whose polarisation axis makes an angle $\theta$ with the polarisation axis of the first polaroid,is placed between these polaroids,then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid will be:
$A$ plane polarized light is incident on a polarizer with its pass axis making an angle $\theta$ with the $x-$axis,as shown in the figure. At four different values of $\theta$,namely $\theta = 8^o, 38^o, 188^o$ and $218^o$,the observed intensities are the same. What is the angle between the direction of polarization and the $x-$axis in degrees?

View SolutionThree 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 an angle of $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0 = 256 \ W/m^2$. Find the intensity of light at point $O$. (in $W/m^2$)
