An unpolarised beam of light is incident on a group of three polarising sheets arranged such that the angle between the axes of any two adjacent sheets is $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the intensities of polarised light emerging from the second and third sheets is

The angle between the axes of a polariser and an analyser is $45^{\circ}$. If the intensity of the unpolarized light incident on the polariser is $I$,then the intensity of the light emerged from the analyser is

$n$ polarizing sheets are arranged such that each makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the preceding sheet. An unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on this arrangement. The output intensity is found to be $\frac{I}{64}$. The value of $n$ will be:

$A$ mixture of plane-polarized and unpolarized light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,we find that the ratio of maximum to minimum transmitted intensity is $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively,of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.
