A source of light is placed in front of a screen. The intensity of light on the screen isI. Two PolaroidsP1andP2are so placed in between the source of light and screen that the intensity of light on the screen isI2. Then theP2, should be rotated by an angle of (degrees) so that the intensity of light on the screen becomes3I8.

Question diagram: A source of light is placed in front of a screen. The intens
Answer:
30.00
Solution:

Recall the law of Malus I'=I2cos2θ

Here θ is the angle between two polaroids, 

3I8=I2cos2θθ=30°.
