NEETPhysicsWave OpticsMCQ+4 / −1
A beam of unpolarized light of intensity I0 is passed through a polaroid A, then through another polaroid B, oriented at and finally through another polaroid C, oriented at 45 relative to B as shown. The intensity of emergent light is:

- A
- B
- C
- D

Correct answer: A
$$\begin{aligned} & I_1=\frac{I_0}{2} \\ & I_B=\left(I_1\right) \cos ^2 60^{\circ} \\ & =\frac{I_0}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{I_0}{8} \\ & I_C=I_B \cos ^2 45^{\circ} \\ & =\frac{I_0}{8} \times\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=\frac{I_0}{16} \end{aligned}$$
