When an unpolarized light of intensity `I_(0)` is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is

A

`1/2I_(o)`

B

`1/4I_(0)`

C

zero

D

`I_(0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`I=I_(0)cos^(2)theta`
Internsity of polarized light `=(I_(0))/(2)`
`:.` Intensity of untransmitted light
`=I_(0)-(I_(0))/(2)=(I_(0))/(2)`
