Two polaroidsA and Bare placed in such a way that the pass-axis of polaroids are perpendicular to each other. Now, another polaroidCis placed betweenA and Bbisecting angle between them. If intensity of unpolarised light isI0then intensity of transmitted light after passing through polaroidBwill be :

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

As given here, the pass axis of polaroids A and B are inclined at angle of  90º with each other. Another polaroid Cis placed at angle of 45°with respect to A and B

Therefore, intensity of light after falling on polaroid A, IA=I02

Intensity of light after falling on polaroid C, IC=IAcos245°=I02cos245°=I04

Intensity of light after falling on polaroid B, IB=ICcos245°=I04cos245°=I08
