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?

  • A
    Interference of light
  • B
    Refraction of light
  • C
    Polarisation of light
  • D
    Dispersion of light

An unpolarised light of intensity $I$ is passed through two polaroids kept one after the other with their planes parallel to each other. The intensity of light emerging from the second polaroid is $\frac{I}{4}$. The angle between the pass axes of the polaroids is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ polaroid is placed at $45^{\circ}$ to an incoming linearly polarized light of intensity $I_0$. The intensity of light passing through the polaroid after polarization will be:
