A beam of unpolarised light of intensity is passed through a polaroid A and then through another polaroid B which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of 45^(@) relative to that of A. The intensity of the emergent light

Answer»

`(I_(0))/(8)`
`I_(0)`
`(I_(0))/(2)`
`(I_(0))/(4)`

SOLUTION :From Malus. law, the intensity of emergent LIGHT from polaroid A,
`I_(1)=I_(0) cos^(2) theta`
`I_(1)=(I_(0))/(2)`
The intensity of emergent light from polaroid
`I_(2)=I_(1) cos^(2) theta`
`=(I_(0))/(2)cos^(2)45^(@)`
`=(I_(0))/(2)xx(1)/(2)=(I_(0))/(4)`
