    A beam of natural light falls on a system of 6 polaroids, which are arranged in succession such that each polaroid is turned through 30° with respect to the preceding one. The  percentage of incident intensity that passes through the system will be

    A)            100%                                       

    B)            50%

    C)            30%                                          

    D)            12%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               If I is the final intensity and I0 is the initial intensity then \[I=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}{{({{\cos }^{2}}30{}^\circ )}^{5}}\]  or \[\frac{I}{{{I}_{0}}}=\frac{1}{2}\times {{\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{10}}=0.12\]
