Two polaroids A and B are placed with their polaroid axes30oto each other as shown in the figure. A plane polarised light passes through the polaroid A and after passing through it, intensity of light becomesI0. What is the intensity of finally transmitted light, after passing through the polaroid B ?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The intensityIof the transmitted light varies directly as the square of the cosine of the angle between the transmission direction of polariser and the analyser.

I=I0cos2⁡θ

Intensity of finally transmitted light after passing through the polaroid B is given byI=I0cos2⁡θ(Intensity)

I= I 0 ⋅ cos 2 30 o

I=0.75I0

where,I0is the maximum intensity of transmitted light.
