When an unpolarized light of intensity `I_(0)` is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is

A

`1/4I_(0)`

B

`1/2I_(0)`

C

`I_(0)`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`I=I_(0)cos^(2)theta`
Intensity of polarized light = `I_(0)/2`
`rArr` Intensity of untransmitted light = `I_(0)-I_(0)/2=I_(0)/2`
