Optics Question 457
Question: Two Polaroids are placed in the path of unpolarised beam of intensity such that no light is emitted from the second Polaroid. If a third polaroid whose polarization axis makes an angle with the polarization axis of first polaroid, is placed between these polaroids then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid will be

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] No light is emitted from the second polaroid, so
Let the initial intensity of light is
So intensity of light after transmission from first Polaroid
Intensity of light emitted from
Intensity of light transmitted from last Polaroid i.e., from
