Two beams, A and B, of plane polarised light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarisation are seen through a polarised light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarisation are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam A has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero intensity). a rotation of Polaroid through 30^@ makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the intiial intensities of the two beams are I_A and I_B respectively, then I_A//I_B equals :

Answer»

`1//3`
`3`
`3//2`
`1`

Solution :
`I_A = cos^2 30^@ = I_B cos^2 60^@`
`I_A((sqrt(3))/(2))^(2) = I_B (1/2)^2`
`I_A (3/4) = I_B (1/4)`
`(I_A)/(I_B) = 1/3`
