$A$ 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

  • A
    $I_0$
  • B
    $I_0/2$
  • C
    $I_0/4$
  • D
    zero

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively. Which of the following phenomena establishes the transverse nature of light?

The relation $I = I_0 \cos^2 \theta$ is known as (where $I_0$ is the intensity of incident light on the analyser,$I$ is the intensity of emergent light from the analyser,and $\theta$ is the angle between the plane of polarization and the axis of the analyser):

Two polaroids are placed in the path of an unpolarised beam of intensity $I_0$ such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid,whose polarisation axis makes an angle $\theta$ with the polarisation axis of the first polaroid,is placed between these polaroids,then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid will be:

$A$ mixture of plane polarised and unpolarised light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,the transmitted intensity varies by a factor of $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.
