    Two polaroids have their polarizing directions parallel so that the intensity of a transmitted light is maximum. The angle through which either Polaroid must be turned if the intensity is to drop by one-half is   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 07 May 2012)

    A) \[135{}^\circ \]  

    B) \[90{}^\circ \]

    C) \[120{}^\circ \]

    D) \[180{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For\[I=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}\] and \[I={{I}_{0}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}\] \[\therefore \]\[\theta ={{45}^{o}}\] Therefore the angle through which either polaroids turned is \[135{}^\circ \] \[\left( =180{}^\circ -45{}^\circ  \right)\]
