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

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • C
    $4: 3$
  • D
    $3: 2$

$A$ polarized light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through another polarizer whose pass axis makes an angle of $60^o$ with the pass axis of the former. What is the intensity of emergent polarized light from the second polarizer?

When light is incident on a doubly refracting crystal,two refracted rays-ordinary ray ($O$-ray) and extraordinary ray ($E$-ray) are produced. Then:

The tourmaline crystal:

An unpolarized light beam is incident on the polarizer of a polarization experiment and the intensity of the light beam emerging from the analyzer is measured as $100 \text{ Lumens}$. Now,if the analyzer is rotated around the horizontal axis (direction of light) by $30^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction,the intensity of the emerging light will be .......... $\text{ Lumens}$.
