Questions 124 and 125 are based on paragraph given below: Unpolarised light of intensity 32 W m^(-2) passes through three polarisers such that transmission axis of last polariser is crossed with first, the intensity of emergent light is 3 Wm^(-2). 124. The nagle between transmission axis of first two polarisers is

Solution :Let `theta_(1)` = angle between first and second POLARISER
`theta_(2)` = angle between second and third polariser
I = initial intensity of unpolarised light
and `I_(1), I_(2) and I_(3)` = intensities transmitted through first, second and third polarisers, then
`I_(1) = I_(2)`and `I_(2) = I_(1) cos^(2)THETA, I_(3) = i_(2) cos^(2)theta_(2)`
Now `theta_(1) + theta_(2) = (pi)/(2)`
`theta_(2) = (pi)/(2) - theta_(1)`
Then `I_(3)= I_(2)cos^(2)((pi)/(2) - theta_(1)) = I_(2) sin^(2) theta_(1)`
`I_(3) = I_(1) cos^(2)theta_(1). sin^(2)theta_(1) = (I)/(2) cos^(2)theta_(1). sin^(2)theta_(1)`
` = I/2((sin 2theta_(1))/(2))^(2) = I/8 sin^(2)2theta_(1)`
But ` i = 32 Wm^(-2)` and `I_(3) = 2Wm^(-2)`
Then `theta_(1) = 30^(@)`.
