$A$ mixture of plane-polarized and unpolarized light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,we find that the ratio of maximum to minimum transmitted intensity is $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively,of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.
