    also passes through the second polaroid.
  • B
    partially passes through the second polaroid.
  • C
    is blocked by the second polaroid.
  • D
    passes with greater intensity.

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?

As shown in the figure,three identical polaroids $P_1$,$P_2$,and $P_3$ are placed one after another. The pass axis of $P_2$ and $P_3$ are inclined at angles of $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source $S$ has an intensity of $256 \text{ W/m}^2$. The intensity of light at point $O$ is $........... \text{ W/m}^2$.
