Statement-$I$: On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a calcite crystal,the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated.
Statement-$II$: The light coming from the sky is polarized due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere. The scattering is largest for blue light.

  • D
    Statement-$I$ is true,Statement-$II$ is true; Statement-$II$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$I$.

Two polaroids have their polarizing directions parallel so that the intensity of the transmitted light is maximum. The angle through which either polaroid must be turned so that the intensity of the transmitted light is dropped to one-half of the previous transmitted intensity is $.....^\circ$.

Three polaroid sheets are kept parallel to each other such that the first and the last are crossed. Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ falls normally on the first sheet and passes through all the polaroid sheets. If the intensity of the emerging light from the third sheet is $3 \ W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the axes of the first two polaroid sheets is: (in $^{\circ}$)
