When light is incident on a doubly refracting crystal,two refracted rays-ordinary ray ($O$-ray) and extraordinary ray ($E$-ray) are produced. Then:

Explain the polarization of light by a thin plastic-like sheet.

$A$ polarized light of intensity $I_{0}$ is passed through another polarizer whose pass axis makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the pass axis of the former. What is the intensity of emergent polarized light from the second polarizer?

$A$ beam of unpolarized light passes through a tourmaline crystal $A$ and then it passes through a second tourmaline crystal $B$ oriented so that its principal plane is parallel to that of $A$. The intensity of emergent light is $I_0$. Now $B$ is rotated by $45^{\circ}$ about the ray. The emergent light will have intensity $(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.

Unpolarized light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ passes through three polarizers such that the transmission axes of the first and second polarizers make an angle of $30^\circ$ with each other,and the transmission axis of the last polarizer is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of the final emerging light will be.......$W m^{-2}$
