According to malus law `I=I_(0)cos^(2)theta=I_(0)cos^(2)60^(2)60^(@)=I_(0)[(1)/(2)]^(2)=(I_(0))/(4)`

Two beams, A and B of plane polarised light with mutually perpendicular plane of polarisation 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^(@) 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))=.....

Statement-1 : On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated. Statement-2 : The light coming from the sky is polarized due to scattering of sun light by particles in the atmoshphere. The scattering is largest for blue light.
