Two polaroids are oriented with their planes perpendicular to incident light and transmission axis making an angle of 30^@with each other. What fraction of incident unpolarized light is transmitted?

Answer»

Solution :If UNPOLARIZED light is passed through a polaroid `P_1` . its intensity will become half.
`So I_1 = 1/2 I_0`,with VIBRATIONS parallel to the axis of `P_1` . Now this light will PASS through the second polaroid `P_2`(Analyser) whose axis is INCLINED at an angle of `30^@`to the axis of `P_1`and hence to the vibrations of `I_1`
