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. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{32}\) |
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. |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{3}{2}\) |
| 3. | \(\sqrt{3}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) |
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. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\) |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{I}{2}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{I}{3}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{3I}{4}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{2I}{3}\) |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{16}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\) |
The Brewster's angle for an interface should be:
1. \(30^{\circ}<i_b<45^{\circ}\)
2. \(45^{\circ}<i_b<90^{\circ}\)
3. \(i_b=90^{\circ}\)
4. \(0^{\circ}<i_b<30^{\circ}\)
If the light is polarised by reflection, then the angle between reflected and refracted light is:
| 1. | \(\pi\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\) |
| 3. | \(2\pi\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\) |
| 1. | \(25\%\) | 2. | \(75\%\) |
| 3. | \(50\%\) | 4. | \(30\%\) |
| 1. | \(60^\circ\) | 2. | \(75^\circ\) |
| 3. | \(30^\circ\) | 4. | \(45^\circ\) |
