Two polaroids are set in corossed positions.A third polaroid is placed between the two making an angle theta with the pass axis of the first polaroid.Write the expession for the intensity of light trnasmitted from the second polaroid .In what orientations will the transmitted intenesity be maximum.

Two polaroids A and B are kept in crossed poisiton.How should a third polariod C be placed between them so that the intensity of polarised ligth transmitted by polaroid B reduces to 1//8th of the intensity of unpolarised light incident on A?

Two polaroids are placed at 90^@ to each other and the transmitted intensity is zero .What happens,when one more polaroid is placed betwen these two,bisectiing the angle between them.How will the intensity of transmitted light vary on further rotatint the third polaroid?

Three polaroids are placed insuch a manner that the third polaroid is crossed with the first.When a beam of unpolarised light of intenstiy 24 W m^(-2) falls on the first polaroid,the intensity of light reduces to 3W m^(-2) on emerging fromo the thrid polariod.Find the angle between the trnasmission axes of the second and third polaroid.

Two polaroids ar oriented with their planes of trnasmission making an angle of 30^@ with that of precceeding sheet.What fraction of incident unpolarised light is transmitted?

Light from an ordianry source(say a sodium lamp) is passed through a polaroid sheet P_1 .The transmitted light is then made to pass through a second polaroid sheet P_2 ,which can be rotated so that the angle (theta) betwen the two polaroid sheets varies from 0^@ to 90^@ .Show graphically the variation of he intensity of light transmitted by P_1 and P_2 as a function of the angle theta .Take the incident beam intensity as I_0 . Why does the light from a cleear blue portion of the sky,show a rise and fall on intesnity,when viewed through a polaroid ,which is rotated?

Two polaroids are placed at 90^@ to each other.What happens,when(N-1) more polaroids are inserted between them?Their axis are equally spaced.How does the trnsitted intensity behave ffor large N?

Two polarised are placed at 90^@ to each other and the intensity of transmitted light is zero. What will be the intensity of transmitted light, when one or more polaroids is placed between these two bisecting the angle between them? Take intensity of unpolarised light as I_0 ?

Two polaroids are aligned,so that the intentsity of light emerging out of them is maximum.Through what angle one of them should be rotated ,so that the intensity of light emerging out of them is reduced to half.

An unpolarised beam of light of intensity I_0 is incident on a combination of two polaroids.Find the net intesity of light of intensity transmitted by the combinatin,when the pass axis of the two polaroids are inclined to each other at an angle of 60^@ .
