(a) When an unpolarised light of intensity I_(0) is passed through a polaroid, what is the intensity of the linearly polarised light ? Does it depend on the orientation of the polaroid ? Explain your answer. (b) A plane polarised beam of light is passed through a polaroid. show graphically the variation of the intensity of the transmitted light with angle of rotation of the polaroid in complete one rotation.

Answer»

Solution :(a) When an UNPOLARISED LIGHT of INTENSITY `I_(0)` is passed through a polaroid, the intensity of linearly polarised light obtained on other side of polaroid is `I=I_(0)//2`. It does not DEPEND on the orientation of the polaroid. If the polaroid is rotated, the direction of orientation of electric vector of transmitted light changes but intensity of light remains UNCHANGED.
