$A$ light beam has an amplitude $A$,and the angle between the analyser and the polariser is $60^o$. What is the amplitude of the light reflected by the analyser?

$A$ source of light is placed in front of a screen. The intensity of light on the screen is $I.$ Two Polaroids $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are placed between the source of light and the screen such that the intensity of light on the screen is $I/2.$ By what angle (in degrees) should $P_{2}$ be rotated so that the intensity of light on the screen becomes $3I/8?$

Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and transmission axis making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with each other. What fraction of incident unpolarised light is transmitted (in $\%$)? $(\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2)$

When unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizing sheet,the intensity of light that does not pass through is:

Three linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$,the second one is at $60^{\circ}$,and the third at $90^{\circ}$ to the vertical,all in the clockwise sense. Each polariser additionally absorbs $10 \%$ of the light. If a vertically polarised beam of light of intensity $I=100 \, W/m^2$ is incident on this assembly of polarisers,then the final intensity of the transmitted light will be close to ................ $W/m^2$.
