Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \, W m^{-2}$ passes through a combination of three polaroids such that the pass axis of the last polaroid is perpendicular to that of the pass axis of the first polaroid. If the intensity of the emerging light is $3 \, W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the pass axis of the first two polaroids is $............ \, ^{\circ}$.
Two polaroids are placed in the path of an unpolarised light beam of intensity $I_0$ such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid,whose polarisation axis makes an angle $\theta$ with that of the first polaroid,is placed between the polaroids,then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid is

View SolutionIn 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:

An unpolarised light of intensity $I$ is passed through two polaroids kept one after the other with their planes parallel to each other. The intensity of light emerging from the second polaroid is $\frac{I}{4}$. The angle between the pass axes of the polaroids is (in $^{\circ}$)
