Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. When unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ passes through the first polaroid,the intensity of the transmitted light becomes $I_1 = \frac{I_0}{2}$.$2$. The first and second polaroids are crossed (angle between axes is $90^\circ$),so no light passes through the second polaroid initially.$3$. $A$ third polaroid is placed between them at an angle $	heta$ with the first polaroid. The angle between the third and the second polaroid is $(90^\circ - 	heta)$.$4$. Intensity after the third polaroid: $I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 	heta = \frac{I_0}{2} \cos^2 	heta$.$5$. Intensity after the second (last) polaroid using Malus' Law: $I_3 = I_2 \cos^2(90^\circ - 	heta) = I_2 \sin^2 	heta$.$6$. Substituting $I_2$: $I_3 = (\frac{I_0}{2} \cos^2 	heta) \sin^2 	heta = \frac{I_0}{2} (\sin 	heta \cos 	heta)^2 = \frac{I_0}{2} (\frac{\sin 2 	heta}{2})^2 = \frac{I_0}{8} \sin^2 2 	heta$.

Statement-$1$: The blue part of the sky is clearly visible through a calcite crystal. The intensity of the transmitted light changes as the crystal is rotated.
Statement-$2$: Light from the sky is due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere.

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?

In an experiment,two polaroids are arranged such that the intensity of the polarised light emerged from the second polaroid is $37.5 \%$ of the intensity of the unpolarised light incident on the first polaroid. Then the angle between the axes of the two polaroids is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ beam of light $AO$ is incident on a glass slab $(\mu = 1.54)$ in a direction as shown in the diagram. The reflected ray $OB$ is passed through a polaroid. On viewing through the polaroid,we find that on rotating the polaroid: (Given $\tan 57^{\circ} = 1.54$)

If a polaroid is kept in the path of uniformly unpolarised light,the ratio of the intensity of the transmitted light to the intensity of the light when the polaroid was not kept in its path is:
