Question

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 ° relative to that of A . The intensity of emergent light is :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Intensity of polarised light from polaroid A will be I 0 2 . Therefore, Intensity of emergent light = I 0 2 cos 2 45 ° = I 0 4
