    An unpolarised beam of intensity\[{{I}_{0}}\]is incident on a pair of nicols making an angle of \[60{}^\circ \] with each other. The intensity of light emerging from the pair is

    A) \[{{I}_{0}}\]  

    B) \[{{I}_{0}}/2\]  

    C) \[{{I}_{0}}/4\] 

    D) \[{{I}_{0}}/8\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] According to Malus' law \[I={{I}_{0}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta ={{I}_{0}}({{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{o}})={{I}_{0}}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{4}.\]
