Two glass pates P and Q are held close and parallel to each other.A narrow beam of onochromatic light AB of intensity I is incident on plnate P ,which is partially reflected and transmitted by it. The transmitted beam DE is reflected by plate Q,which is subsequently again reflected and transmitted by the plate P as shown in Fig.6.14. If durign a reflection,each glass plate reflects one-fourth of the light incident on it,then find the intesnstities of maxima and minima in the interference pattern produced by the two beams BC and IJ.

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.
