What is is plane polarised light ? Two polaroids are placed at 90^(@) to each other and the transmitted intensity is zero. What happens when one more polaroid is placed between these two, bisecting the angle betweeen them ? How will the intensity of transmitted light vary on further rotating the third polaroid ? (b) If a light beam shows no intensity variation when trasmitted through a polaroid which is rotated, does it mean that the light is un-polarised ? Explain briefly.

Unpolarised light of intensity I is incidnet of the polaroid. What will be the intensity of light transmitted by the polaroid?

The polaroids are placed in the path of unpolarized beam of intensity I_(0) such that no light is emitted fromthesecond polarid. If a third polaroid whose polarization axis makes an angle theta with the polarization axis of first polaroid, is placed between these4 polariods then the intensity of light emerging from the last polariod will be
