Three linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$,the second one is at $60^{\circ}$,and the third at $90^{\circ}$ to the vertical,all in the clockwise sense. Each polariser additionally absorbs $10 \%$ of the light. If a vertically polarised beam of light of intensity $I=100 \, W/m^2$ is incident on this assembly of polarisers,then the final intensity of the transmitted light will be close to ................ $W/m^2$.

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.

In a system of two crossed polarisers,it is found that the intensity of light from the second polariser is half of that from the first polariser. The angle between their pass axes is (in $^{\circ}$)

When a plane-polarised light is passed through an analyser and the analyser is rotated through $90^{\circ}$,the intensity of the emerging light

$A$ beam of unpolarized light passes through a tourmaline crystal $A$ and then it passes through a second tourmaline crystal $B$ oriented so that its principal plane is parallel to that of $A$. The intensity of emergent light is $I_0$. Now $B$ is rotated by $45^{\circ}$ about the ray. The emergent light will have intensity $(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.
