The intensity of incident unpolarized light on a polaroid is $I_1$ and the intensity of emergent polarized light from this polaroid is $I_2$. The relation between $I_1$ and $I_2$ is $.......$

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on a system of two polarizers,$A$ followed by $B$. The intensity of emergent light is $I/2$. If a third polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$,the intensity of emergent light is reduced to $I/3$. The angle between the polarizers $A$ and $C$ is $\theta$. Then:

An unpolarised beam of light is incident on a group of three polarising sheets arranged such that the angle between the axes of any two adjacent sheets is $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the intensities of polarised light emerging from the second and third sheets is

Two polarisers $P_1$ and $P_2$ are placed such that the intensity of the transmitted light is zero. $A$ third polariser $P_3$ is inserted between $P_1$ and $P_2$. If the transmitted intensity of the light passing through all three polarisers is maximum,what is the angle between the polarisers $P_2$ and $P_3$?
