2. \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\)
3. \(2\pi\)
4. \(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\)

A plane-polarized light with intensity \(I_0\) is incident on a polaroid with an electric field vector making an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the transmission axis of the polaroid. The intensity of the resulting light will be:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) | 2. | \(I_0\) |
| 3. | \(2I_0\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\) |
Which of the following statements indicates that light waves are transverse?
| 1. | Light waves can travel in a vacuum. |
| 2. | Light waves show interference. |
| 3. | Light waves can be polarized. |
| 4. | Light waves can be diffracted. |
Five identical polaroids are placed coaxially with \(45^{\circ}\) angular separation between pass axes of adjacent polaroids as shown in the figure. (\(I_0\): Intensity of unpolarized light)
The intensity of light, \(I\),
emerging out of the \(5\)th polaroid is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{16}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{32}\) |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{16}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\) |
Unpolarized light of intensity \(32\) Wm–2 passes through three polarizers such that the transmission axes of the first and second polarizer make an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with each other and the transmission axis of the last polarizer is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of the final emerging light will be:
1. \(32\) Wm–2
2. \(3\) Wm–2
3. \(8\) Wm–2
4. \(4\) Wm–2
