An unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I_0$ passes through two linear polarisers making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to each other. The emergent beam will have an intensity:

  • A
    $\frac{3 I_0}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3} I_0}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 I_0}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{8}$

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axes of the polaroids are perpendicular to each other. Now, another polaroid $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$, bisecting the angle between them. If the intensity of unpolarised light is $I_0$, then the intensity of the transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:

An unpolarised light beam of intensity $2 I_{0}$ is passed through a polaroid $P$ and then through another polaroid $Q$ which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ relative to that of $P$. The intensity of the emergent light is.
