An unpolarized light passes through three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make an angle of $30^o$,$60^o$,and $30^o$ with the $y$-axis in the same sense. What fraction of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

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

Light passes successively through two polarimeter tubes,each of length $0.29 \ m$. The first tube contains a dextrorotatory solution of concentration $60 \ kg/m^3$ and specific rotation $0.01 \ rad \ m^2/kg$. The second tube contains a laevorotatory solution of concentration $30 \ kg/m^3$ and specific rotation $0.02 \ rad \ m^2/kg$. The net rotation produced is.......$^\circ$.

Two polaroids are placed in the path of an unpolarised light beam of intensity $I_0$ such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid,whose polarisation axis makes an angle $\theta$ with that of the first polaroid,is placed between the polaroids,then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid is

The angle between a polarizer and an analyzer is $60^o$. If light with an amplitude $A$ is incident on the polarizer,what is the amplitude of the light emerging from the analyzer?
