  • A
    $I_1 > I_2$
  • B
    $I_1 = I_2$
  • C
    $I_1 < I_2$
  • D
    $I_1 = 2I_2$

Light waves can be polarised as they are

$A$ beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of the emergent light is

Three identical polaroids $P_1, P_2$, and $P_3$ are placed one after another. The pass axes of $P_2$ and $P_3$ are inclined at angles of $60^\circ$ and $90^\circ$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0$. The intensity of light finally coming out is

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one after another. What should be the angle between the pass axes of the sheets so that the final transmitted light has one-fourth the intensity of the incident light?
