    A polarized light of intensity \[{{I}_{0}}\] is passed through another polarizer whose pass axis makes an angle of \[{{60}^{o}}\] with the pass axis of the former. What is the intensity of emergent polarized light from second polarizer?

    A)  \[I={{I}_{0}}/5\]        

    B)  \[I={{I}_{0}}\]

    C)  \[{{I}_{0}}/4\] 

    D)  \[I={{I}_{0}}/6\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : According to Mains law, the intensity of emergent polarized light from second polarizer is \[I={{I}_{0}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] where \[\theta \] is the angle between pass axes of two polarizers and \[{{I}_{0}}\] is the intensity of polarized light after passing through the first polarizer. Here, \[\theta ={{60}^{{}^\circ }}\] \[\therefore \]  \[I={{I}_{0}}{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{o}}={{I}_{0}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{I}_{0}}}{4}\]
