$A$ polarizer and an analyzer are placed such that the intensity of the transmitted light is maximum. If the analyzer is rotated by $60^{\circ}$,find the intensity of the transmitted light.

Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and transmission axis making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with each other. What fraction of incident unpolarised light is transmitted (in $\%$)? $(\cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} / 2)$

Two linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$ from the vertical,while the second one is at $60^{\circ}$ from the vertical,both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I_{0}=20 \,W/m^{2}$ is incident on this pair of polarisers,then the intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ transmitted by the first and second polarisers respectively,will be close to:

'n' polarizing sheets are arranged such that each makes an angle $45^\circ$ with the preceding sheet. An unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident into this arrangement. The output intensity is found to be $I/64$. The value of $n$ will be
