An unpolarised light beam of intensity is passed through a polaroid P and then through another polaroid Q which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of relative to that of P. The intensity of the emergent light is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Intensity after first polaroid
The incident light is unpolarised with intensity
When unpolarised light passes through a polaroid, its intensity becomes half:
-
Intensity after second polaroid
The second polaroid makes an angle of with the first polaroid .
By Malus' law, where .
So,
Since we get
Therefore,
-
Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ✅
- D: ❌
Hence, the intensity of the emergent light is
