  • question_answer
    An unpolarised light of intensity\[{{I}_{0}}\] on a polaroid whose optic axis is inclined at \[45{}^\circ \] to the incident light. Then the intensity of light emerging from the polaroid is

    A)  \[{{I}_{0}}\]                      

    B)         \[\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{4}\]                    

    D)         zero         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When unpolarised light passes through a polarbid, intensity of emergent light, \[I={{I}_{0}}{{({{\cos }^{2}})}_{mean}}\] \[={{I}_{0}}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}\]
