An unpolarized light beam of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a first polaroid $A$ and then through a second polaroid $B$. If the principal plane of polaroid $B$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with that of $A$,find the intensity of the emerging light.

Two polarizers are oriented with their principal planes making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with each other. The percentage of incident unpolarized light which passes through the system is: (in $\%$)

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ passes through an ideal polarizer $A$. Another identical polarizer $B$ is placed behind $A$. The intensity of light beyond $B$ is found to be $\frac{I}{2}$. Now,another identical polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$. The intensity beyond $B$ is now found to be $\frac{I}{8}$. The angle between polarizer $A$ and $C$ is: ......$^{\circ}$
