  • question_answer
    An unpolarised beam of light of intensity I is incident on a set of four polarising plates such that each plate makes an angle of \[\pi /3\] with preceding sheet. The intensity of light transmitted through the combination is:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{64}\]               

    B)     \[\frac{1}{128}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{32}\]               

    D)     \[\frac{1}{256}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    After passing through first polarising plates unpolarised light becomes polarised and intensity becomes \[\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2}\]. When polarised light passing through second polarizing plates intensity becomes \[\left( \frac{{{I}_{0}}}{2} \right)\,{{\cos }^{2}}\,\frac{\pi }{3}=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{8}\]             \[\left[ \because \,\,{{I}_{after}}\,={{I}_{before}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\theta  \right]\] After third polarising plates intensity becomes \[\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{8}{{\cos }^{2}}\,\frac{\pi }{3}\,=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{32}\] After fourth polarising plates intensity becomes             \[\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{32}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\,\frac{\pi }{3}\,=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{128}\]
