Unpolarized light of intensity \(I_0\) is incident on a polariser \(A\) and subsequently on polariser \(B\) whose pass axis is perpendicular to that of \(A\). Now a polariser \(C\) is introduced between \(A\) and \(B\) such that pass axis of \(C\) is at \(45^{\circ}\) with the pass axis of \(A\). The intensity of light that comes out of \(B\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\)
2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\)
3. \(0\)
4. \(\dfrac{3I_0}{8}\)

An unpolarised light beam of intensity \(2I_0\) 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 \(30^{\circ}\) relative to that of \(P\). The intensity of the emergent light is:
1. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4} \)
2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2} \)
3. \(\dfrac{3 I_0}{4} \)
4. \(\dfrac{3 I_0}{2}\)

3. the reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.
4. the reflected light will be partially polarised.
