Optics Question 186
Question: A beam of plane polarized light falls normally on a polarizer of cross sectional area . Flux of energy of incident ray in 10?3 W. The polarizer rotates with an angular frequency of 31.4 rad/sec. The energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution will be
Options:
A) 10?4 Joule
B) 10?3 Joule
C) 10?2 Joule
D) 10?1 Joule
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Using Matus law,
As here polariser is rotating i.e. all the values of q are possible.
On integration we get
where
and Time period
Energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution
