$A$ beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of the emergent light is

Discuss the intensity of transmitted light when a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids.

$A$ beam of light of intensity $I_0$ falls on a system of three polaroids which are arranged in succession such that the pass (transmission) axis is turned through $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the preceding one. The fraction of the incident light intensity that passes through the system is $\left(\cos 60^{\circ} = 1/2\right)$.
