$A$ system of three polarizers $P_1, P_2, P_3$ is set up such that the pass axis of $P_3$ is crossed with respect to that of $P_1$. The pass axis of $P_2$ is inclined at $60^{\circ}$ to the pass axis of $P_3$. When a beam of unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on $P_1$,the intensity of light transmitted by the three polarizers is $I$. The ratio $(I_0/I)$ equals (nearly)

In the case of linearly polarized light,the magnitude of the electric field vector:

$n$ polarizing sheets are arranged such that each makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the preceding sheet. An unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on this arrangement. The output intensity is found to be $\frac{I}{64}$. The value of $n$ will be:

In an experiment,two polaroids are arranged such that the intensity of the polarised light emerged from the second polaroid is $37.5 \%$ of the intensity of the unpolarised light incident on the first polaroid. Then the angle between the axes of the two polaroids is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ 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 $3I/8?$
