An unpolarised light incident on a polariser has amplitude \(A\), and the angle between analyzer and polariser is \(60^{\circ}\). The light transmitted by the analyzer has an amplitude of:

Unpolarized light of intensity 32Wm^–2 passes through three polarizers such that transmission axes of the first and second polarizer makes and angle 30° with each other and the transmission axis of the last polarizer is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of final emerging light will be

In the visible region of the spectrum the rotation of the place of polarization is given by $\theta =a+\frac{b}{{\lambda }^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be 30° per mm at $\lambda =5000$Å and 50° per mm at $\lambda =4000\text{Å}$. The value of constant a will be

(1) $+\frac{50°}{9}$per mm

(2) $-\frac{50°}{9}$per mm

(3) $+\frac{9°}{50}$per mm

(4) $-\frac{9°}{50}$per mm

When an unpolarized light of intensity I₀ is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is

When the angle of incidence on a material is 60°, the reflected light is completely polarized. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the material is (in ms^–1)

Two polaroids are placed in the path of unpolarized beam of intensity I₀ such that no light is emitted from the second polaroid. If a third polaroid whose polarization axis makes an angle θ with the polarization axis of first polaroid, is placed between these polaroids then the intensity of light emerging from the last polaroid will be:

(1) $\left(\frac{{\displaystyle I_0}}{{\displaystyle 8}}\right){\sin }^{2}2\theta$

(2) $\left(\frac{{\displaystyle I_0}}{{\displaystyle 4}}\right){\sin }^{2}2\theta$
