A beam of natural light falls on a system of 5 polaroids, which are arranged in succession such that the pass axis of each polaroid is turned through `60^(@)` with respect to the preceding one. The fraction of the incident light intensity that passes through the system is

A

`(1)/(64)`

B

`(1)/(32)`

C

`(1)/(256)`

D

`(1)/(512)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`I = (I_(0))/(2).(1)/((4)^(4))`
`= (I_(0))/(512) = (1)/(512)`
