Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let the initial intensity of the unpolarized light be $I_0$.When unpolarized light passes through the first polaroid,the intensity of the transmitted light becomes $I_1 = \frac{I_0}{2}$.The third polaroid is placed at an angle $	heta$ with respect to the first polaroid. According to Malus' Law,the intensity of light after passing through the third polaroid is $I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 	heta = \frac{I_0}{2} \cos^2 	heta$.The second polaroid is at an angle of $90^\circ$ with respect to the first,so the angle between the third and the second polaroid is $(90^\circ - 	heta)$.The intensity of light emerging from the last (second) polaroid is $I_3 = I_2 \cos^2(90^\circ - 	heta) = I_2 \sin^2 	heta$.Substituting $I_2$,we get $I_3 = \left( \frac{I_0}{2} \cos^2 	heta ight) \sin^2 	heta = \frac{I_0}{2} (\sin 	heta \cos 	heta)^2$.Using the identity $\sin 2	heta = 2 \sin 	heta \cos 	heta$,we have $\sin 	heta \cos 	heta = \frac{\sin 2	heta}{2}$.Thus,$I_3 = \frac{I_0}{2} \left( \frac{\sin 2	heta}{2} ight)^2 = \frac{I_0}{2} \cdot \frac{\sin^2 2	heta}{4} = \frac{I_0}{8} \sin^2 2	heta$.
