$A$ plane polarized light is incident on a polarizer with its pass axis making an angle $\theta$ with the $x-$axis,as shown in the figure. At four different values of $\theta$,namely $\theta = 8^o, 38^o, 188^o$ and $218^o$,the observed intensities are the same. What is the angle between the direction of polarization and the $x-$axis in degrees?

  • A
    $203$
  • B
    $45$
  • C
    $98$
  • D
    $128$

$A$ system of three polarizers $P_1, P_2, P_3$ is set up such that the pass axis of $P_3$ is crossed with respect to that of $P_1$. The pass axis of $P_2$ is inclined at $60^{\circ}$ to the pass axis of $P_3$. When a beam of unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on $P_1$,the intensity of light transmitted by the three polarizers is $I$. The ratio $(I_0/I)$ equals (nearly)

An unpolarised beam of intensity $I_{0}$ falls on a polaroid. The intensity of the emergent light is

$A$ polarizer and an analyzer are placed such that the intensity of the transmitted light is maximum. If the analyzer is rotated by $60^{\circ}$,find the intensity of the transmitted light.

Two polaroids $A$ and $B$ are placed in such a way that the pass-axis of polaroids are perpendicular to each other. Now,another polaroid $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$ bisecting the angle between them. If the intensity of unpolarised light is $I_0$,then the intensity of transmitted light after passing through polaroid $B$ will be:

$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^o$ to an incoming light of intensity $I_0$. Now the intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarisation would be
