$A$ mixture of plane-polarized and unpolarized light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,we find that the ratio of maximum to minimum transmitted intensity is $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively,of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on a system of two polarizers,$A$ followed by $B$. The intensity of emergent light is $I/2$. If a third polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$,the intensity of emergent light is reduced to $I/3$. The angle between the polarizers $A$ and $C$ is $\theta$. Then:

When a plane-polarised light is passed through an analyser and the analyser is rotated through $90^{\circ}$,the intensity of the emerging light

In the figure,suppose the transmission axes of the left and right polarizing disks are perpendicular to each other. Also,let the center disk be rotated on the common axis with an angular speed $\omega$. If unpolarized light is incident on the left disk with an intensity $I_{max}$,the intensity of the beam emerging from the right disk is given by:
