$A$. Angle of reflection$(i)$ $2 \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
$B$. Angle of refraction$(ii)$ $\sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right) - \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$C$. Angle between incident and completely polarised light$(iii)$ $\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$D$. Angle of deviation of the incident ray$(iv)$ $\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$

An unpolarized light of average intensity $I$ is passed through a polarizer. Find the amplitude of electric field of light coming out. (Symbols have their usual meaning)

In the propagation of light waves,the angle between the direction of vibration and the plane of polarization is ....$^o$.

Out of the following statements,which is not correct?

An unpolarized light beam is incident on the polarizer of a polarization experiment and the intensity of the light beam emerging from the analyzer is measured as $100 \text{ Lumens}$. Now,if the analyzer is rotated around the horizontal axis (direction of light) by $30^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction,the intensity of the emerging light will be .......... $\text{ Lumens}$.
