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.
A transparent thin plate of a polaroid is placed on another similar plate such that the angle between their axes is $30^\circ$. The intensities of the emergent and the unpolarized incident light will be in the ratio of
Unpolarised light of intensity $32\ W\ m^{-2}$ passes through three polarizers such that transmission axis of first is crossed with third. If intensity of emerging light is $2\ W\ m^{-2}$, what is the angle of transmission axis between the first two polarisers?
On unpolarised beam of light is incident on a set of four polarising plates, such that each plate makes an angle of $\dfrac{\pi}{3}$ with preceding sheet. The light transmitted through the combination is:-
Two polaroids are kept crossed to each other. Now one of the polaroids is rotated through an angle $45^0$. The percentage of incident light now transmitted through the system is:
A plane polarized light is incident normally on a tourmaline plate. Its $\vec { E } $ vectors make an angle of ${ 60 }^{ o }$ with the optic axis of the plate. Find the percentage difference between initial and final intensities.
In case of linearly polarised light, the magnitude of the electric field vector.
