An unpolarized beam of light is incidents on a group of four polarizing sheets, which are arranged in such a way, that of the characteristic direction of each polarizing sheet makes an angle of $30^0$ with that of the preceding sheet. The percentage of incident light transmitted by the first polarizered will be :
Intensity observed in an interference pattern is $I={ I } _{ 0 }\sin ^{ 2 }{ \theta } $. At $\theta={30}^{o}$, intensity $I=5\pm 0.002$. The percentage error in angle if $I _0=20w/m^2$is
When light passing through rotating nicol is observed, no change in intensity is seen. What inference can be drawn ?
Unpolarised light of intensity 32 W m$^{-2}$ passes through three polarizes is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of final emerging light is 3 W m$^{-2}$. The intensity of light transmitted by first polarizer will be
A beam of unpolarised light passes through a tourmaline crystal $A$ and then through another such crystal $B$ oriented so that the principal plane is parallel to $A$. The intensity of emergent light is $\displaystyle I$. If $A$ now rotated by $45^{o}$ in a plane perpendicular to direction of the incident ray. The emergent light will have intensity.
Three or more number of polaroids ($n$) kept in the path of unpolarized light of intensity $I$ such that angle between any two successive polaroids is other than $90^{\circ}$, then the intensity of emergent light is :
Ordinary light passes through two polarizing filters. The filters have been rotated so that their polarizing axes are oriented at $90^{\circ}$ to each other, and no light gets through both of them.
By adding a third polarizing filter so that there are three in a row, how might one cause light to pass through the three filters?
Polarizing filter # $1$ Is oriented so that its polarizing axis is vertical.
Polarizing filter # $2$ is oriented so that its polarizing axis is rotated clockwise $45^{\circ}$ from filter # $1$
Polarizing filter # $3$ is oriented so that its polarizing filter is rotated $90^{\circ}$ from filter #$1$
Polarizing filter # $4$ oriented so that its polarizing is rotated $135^{\circ}$ from filter # $1$
Which sequence of filters-front to back-will block out all light that starts through the front filter?
Unpolarized light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one on top of the other. What must be the angle between the characteristic directions of the sheets if the intensity of the final transmitted light is one-third the maximum intensity of the first transmitted beam
Two circularly shaped linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polarizer is at $30^o$ from the vertical while the second one is at $60^o$, both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I=20$ $W/m^2$ is incident on this pair of polarisers, then the intensities $I _1$ and $I _2$ transmitted by the first and the second polarisers, respectively, will be close to.
