An unpolarized light passes through three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make an angle of $30^o$,$60^o$,and $30^o$ with the $y$-axis in the same sense. What fraction of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{32}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{32}$
  • D

In the figure,suppose the transmission axes of the left and right polarizing disks are perpendicular to each other. Also,let the center disk be rotated on the common axis with an angular speed $\omega$. If unpolarized light is incident on the left disk with an intensity $I_{max}$,the intensity of the beam emerging from the right disk is given by:

$A$ source of light is placed in front of a screen. The intensity of light on the screen is $I.$ Two Polaroids $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are placed between the source of light and the screen such that the intensity of light on the screen is $I/2.$ By what angle (in degrees) should $P_{2}$ be rotated so that the intensity of light on the screen becomes $3I/8?$

Plane polarised light is passed through a polaroid. On viewing through the polaroid,we find that when the polaroid is given one complete rotation about the direction of the light,one of the following is observed:

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?
