If a polarised light of intensity `l_(0)//2` is passed through two polariods `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` as shown in figure. Then the intensity of light observed by an observer on other side of `P_(2)` (if the polaroid `P_(1)` is rotated clockwise) as a funtion of angle `theta`.

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`l=((l_(0))/(2))cos^(2)theta.sin^(2)theta=(l_(0))/(2)[(sin2theta)/(2)]^(2)=(l_(0))/(8)sin^(2)2theta`

Unpolarized light is intensity I_(0) passes through two polaroids P_(1) and P_(2) such that pass axis of P_(2) makes an angle theta with the pass axis of P_(1) . A third polaroid P_(3) is placed between P_(1) and P_(2) with pass axis of P_(3) making an angle beta with that of P_(1) . If I_(1), I_(2), I_(3) represent intensities of light trnasmitted by P_(1), P_(2), P_(3) , determine the values of angle theta and beta for which I_(1) = I_(2) = I_(3) .
