Two polaroids are kept crossed to each other. Now one of them is rotated through an angle of `45^(@)` . The percentage of incident light now transmitted through the system is

A

`15%`

B

`25%`

C

`50%`

D

`60%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`I = ((I_(0))/(2))(cos 45^(@))^(2) = (I_(0))/(2) ((I)/(sqrt(2)))^(2) = (I_(0))/(4)`
`implies I = 25% of I_(0)`
