A beam of natural light falls on a system of 5 polaroids, which are arranged in succession such that the pass axis of each polaroid is turned through `60^(@)` with respect to the precending one. The friction of the incident light intensity that passes through the system is :

A

`1/64`

B

`1/32`

C

`1/(256)`

D

`1/(512)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`l=l_(0)/2*1/((4)^(4))=l_(0)/(512')`
Thus fraction is `1/512`.
