Light waves can be polarized because

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 $.....^\circ$.

Two polaroids are placed in the path of an unpolarised light 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 that of the first polaroid,is placed between the polaroids,then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid is

An unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I_0$ passes through two linear polarisers making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to each other. The emergent beam will have an intensity:

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is scattered from point $A$. What is the intensity of light perceived by the given observer?
