1.

Two nicol prisms are oriented with their principal planes making an angle of 60^(@). Then ..... % of incident unpolarised light which will pass through the system.

Answer»

50
100
`37.5`
`12.5`

Solution :The intensity of emerging LIGHT from first NICOL prism,
`I_(1)=(I_(0))/(2)`
The intensity of emerging light from second nicol prism
`I_(2)=I_(1) cos^(2) theta`
`=(I_(0))/(2)xx cos^(2)60^(@)`
`=(I_(0))/(8) "" [ :. cos60^(@)=(1)/(2]`
`=(I_(0))/(8)xx100%xx (10)/(I_(0))=12.5%`
