Two polaroid A and B are kept in crossed position. How should a third polaroid C be placed between them so that the intensity of polarized light transmitted by polaroid B reduces to (1)/(8)th of the intensity of unplarised light incident on A ?

Unpolarised light of intensity I is incidnet of the polaroid. What will be the intensity of light transmitted by the polaroid?

Two 'crossed' polaroids A and B are placed in the path of a light-beam. In between these, a third polaroid is C is placed whose polarisation axis makes an angel theta with a polarisation axis of the polaroid A. If the intensity of light emerging from the poloaroid a is I_(o) then show that the intensity of light emerging from polaroid B will be 1/4I_(o) sin^(2)theta.

Two crossed polaroids are placed in the path of a light beam. In between these a third polaroid is placed whose polarisation axis makes an angle phi with the polarisation axis of the first polaroid Then, intensity of light emerging from the third polaroid, in term of phi is

Two polaroids A and B are parallel. How a third Polaroid C be placed between A and B so that the intensity of the emergent light be (A) zero (B) maximum?

Two polarioids P_1 and P_2 are placed in crossed positions. A third polaroid P_3 is kept between P_1 and P_2 such that the axis of P_3 is parallel to that of P_1 . How would the intensity of light (I_2) transmitted through P_2 vary as P_3 is rotated? Draw a plot of intensity 'I_2' vs the angle 'theta' between the axes of P_1 and P_3 . In which orientation will the transmitted intensity be (i) minimum and (ii) maximum?
