$A$ beam of plane polarised light of large cross-sectional area and uniform intensity of $3.3 \, W m^{-2}$ falls normally on a polariser (cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$) which rotates about its axis with an angular speed of $31.4 \, rad/s$. The energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution is close to ........ $\times 10^{-4} \, J$.

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 $............ \, ^{\circ}$.

After passing through a polariser,a linearly polarised light of intensity $I$ is incident on an analyser making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with that of the polariser. The intensity of light emitted from the analyser will be
