Three polaroid sheets are kept parallel to each other such that the first and the last are crossed. Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \ W m^{-2}$ falls normally on the first sheet and passes through all the polaroid sheets. If the intensity of the emerging light from the third sheet is $3 \ W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the axes of the first two polaroid sheets is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ plane polarized light is incident normally on a tourmaline plate. Its $\vec{E}$ vectors make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the optic axis of the plate. Find the percentage difference between initial and final intensities. (in $\%$)

$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^o$ to an incoming light of intensity $I_0$. Now the intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarisation would be

The specific rotation of a sugar solution is $0.01 \ SI$ units. $A$ $200 \ kg/m^3$ solution of impure sugar is taken in a polarimeter tube of length $0.25 \ m$,and an optical rotation of $0.4 \ rad$ is observed. The percentage of purity of sugar in the sample is.....$\%$
