When an unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a polarizing sheet,the intensity of light which does not get transmitted is

An unpolarised light beam of intensity $2 I_{0}$ is passed through a polaroid $P$ and then through another polaroid $Q$ which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ relative to that of $P$. The intensity of the emergent light is.

Unpolarised light of intensity $32 \, W m^{-2}$ passes through a combination of three polaroids such that the pass axis of the last polaroid is perpendicular to that of the pass axis of the first polaroid. If the intensity of the emerging light is $3 \, W m^{-2}$,then the angle between the pass axis of the first two polaroids is $............ \, ^{\circ}$.

How can it be determined whether a given light is unpolarized,plane-polarized,or partially plane-polarized?

Two beams,$A$ and $B$,of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam $A$ has maximum intensity (and beam $B$ has zero intensity),a rotation of the polaroid through $30^{\circ}$ makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively,then $\frac{I_A}{I_B} = $
