(N/A) The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors parallel to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(a)$.
The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors perpendicular to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(b)$.
Unpolarised light signals are shown in two ways in figure $(c)$,where $(i)$ represents the light propagating along the axis with vibrations in all directions in the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation,and $(ii)$ shows the combination of vertical and horizontal components.
The signal for partially polarised light is shown in figure $(d)$,which indicates an unequal distribution of vibrations in different directions.

Two polaroids have their polarizing directions parallel so that the intensity of the transmitted light is maximum. The angle through which either polaroid must be turned so that the intensity of the transmitted light is dropped to one-half of the previous transmitted intensity is $.....^\circ$.

When unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizer,what will be the intensity of the light that does not pass through it?
