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

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} I_0$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4} I_0$

$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^o$ to an incoming light of intensity $I_0$. Now the intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarisation would be

Four polaroids are placed such that the optic axis of each is inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the optic axis of the preceding one. If unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ falls on the first polaroid,the intensity of light transmitted from the fourth polaroid is $[\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2]$.

$A$ beam of light of intensity $I_0$ falls on a system of three polaroids which are arranged in succession such that the pass (transmission) axis is turned through $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the preceding one. The fraction of the incident light intensity that passes through the system is $\left(\cos 60^{\circ} = 1/2\right)$.

$A$ 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?

In the visible region of the spectrum,the rotation of the plane of polarization is given by $\theta = a + \frac{b}{\lambda^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be $30^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $50^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$. The value of constant $a$ will be:
