An unpolarizing beam of light is incident on a group of four palarizing sheets, which are arranaged in such a way that the characteristic direction of each polarizing sheet makes an angle of `30^(@)` with that of the preceding sheet. What fraction of incident unpolarized light is transmitted ?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To find the fraction of incident unpolarized light transmitted through four polarizing sheets arranged at an angle of \(30^\circ\) to each other, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions
Let \(I_0\) be the intensity of the unpolarized light incident on the first polarizing sheet.
### Step 2: Transmission through the First Polarizing Sheet
When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizing sheet, the intensity is reduced to half:
