Consider a light beam incident from air ...

Consider a light beam incident from air to a glass slab at Brewster's angle as shown in figure.
A polaroid is placed in the path of the emergent ray at point P and rotated about an axis passing through the centre and pependicular to the plane of the plaroid.

A

For a particular orientation, there shall be darkness as observed through the polaroid

B

The intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall be independent of the rotation

C

The intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum byt not zero for two orientations of the polaroid

D

The intensity of light as seen through the polaroid shall go through a minimum for four orientations of the polaroid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Consider the diagram the light beam the incident from air to the glass slab at Brewster's angle `(i_(P))` The incident ray is unpolarised and is re[resented by dot (.)
The reflected light is plane polarised represented by arrows As the emergent ray is plane polarised represented by arrows As the emergent ray is unpolarised hence intensity cannot be zero when passes through polaroid
