To have maximum intensity the polaroids ...

To have maximum intensity the polaroids should be

A

in parallel

B

crossed

C

at `45^(@)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As transmitted intensity, `l prop cos^2theta`. Therefore , to have maximum intensity the two polaroids must be parallel and for minimum intensity they must be crossed.
