When an unpolarized light of intensity `I_0` is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which dows not get transmitted is

A

`(1)/(4)I_0`

B

`(1)/(2)I_0`

C

`I_0`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`I=I_0cos^(2)theta`
Intensity of polarized light `=(I_0)/(2)`
`implies` Intensity of untransmitted light `=I_0-(I_0)(2)=(I_0)/(2)`
