A clear sheet of polaroid is placed on top of a similar sheet so that axews make an angle of sin^(-1) (4/5) with each other. The ratio of intensity of the emergent light to that of polarised light is

Unpolarised light of internsity 32 Wm^(-2) passes through three polarisers such that the transmission axis of the last polariser is crossed with the first. If the intensity of emerging light is 2 Wm^(-2) , the angle between the transmission axes o the first two polarisers is

The intensity of light coming from one of the slits in Young's experiment is twice the intensity of light coming from the other slit. What will be the approximate ratio of the intensities of the bright and dark fringes in the resulting interference pattern?

Unpolarized light with intensity I_0 is incident on two polaroids. The axis of the first polaroid makes an angle of 50^@ with the vertical, and the axis of the second polaroid is horizontal. What is the intensity of the light, after it has passed through the second polaroid?

A parallel beam of green light of wavelength 546 nm passes through a slit of width 0.4 mm. The intensity pattern of the transmitted light is seen on a screen which is 40 cm away. What is the distance between the two first order of minima?
