Unpolarized light of intensityIis incident on a system of two polarizers,Afollowed byB. The intensity of emergent light isI2. If a third polarizerCis placed betweenAandBthe intensity of emergent light is reduced toI3. The angle between the polarizersAandCisθ, then

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:





A and B have same alignment of transmission axis.

Let's assume c is introduced atθangle

I2cos2⁡θ×cos2⁡θ=I3

cos4⁡θ=23

⇒   cos⁡θ=2314
