A plane polarized light is incident normally on a tourmaline plate. Its vecE vectors make an angle of 60^(@) with the optic axis of the plate. Find the percentage difference between initial and final intensities.

Answer»

0.25
0.75
0.5
0.9

Solution :`I=I_(0)COS^(2) THETA`
`=I_(0)cos^(2) 60^(@)`
`I=(I_(0))/(4)`
`(I_(0)-I)/(I_(0))xx100%=(I_(0)-(I_(0))/(4))/(I_(0))xx100%`
`=(3I_(0))/(4I_(0))xx100=75%`
