Optics Ques 130
- A beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I _0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of the emergent light is
(a) $I _0$
(b) $I _0 / 2$
(c) $I _0 / 4$
(d) $I _0 / 8$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 130.(c)
Solution:
Formula:
- Relation between intensities is
$ I _R=(\frac{I _0}{2} )\cos ^{2}\left(45^{\circ}\right)=\frac{I _0}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{I _0}{4} $
