Two beams, A and B, of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam A has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero intensity), a rotation of Polaroid through `30^(0)` makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are `I_(A)` and `I_(B)` respectively, then `I_(A)//I_(B)` equals :-

A

`2`

B

`(3)/(2)`

C

`1`

D

`(1)/(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`l_(A) cos^(2)30^(@)=l_(B) cos^(2)60^(@)`
`rArr I_(A)(3)/(4)=I_(B).(1)/(4)`
`(I_(A))/(I_(B))=(1)/(3)`

Two beams A and B, of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam a has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero ntensity), a rotation of polaroid through 30^circ makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are I_A and I_B respectively, then (I_A)/(I_B) equals:
