An unpolarized light of intensity \(I_0\) is passed through a polariser and is incident on an analyser making an angle of \((\pi/6) \text{ rad}\) with that of the polariser. The intensity of the light transmitted from the analyzer is

  1. A \(0.33 I_0\)
  2. B \(0.5 I_0\)
  3. C \(0.375 I_0\)
  4. D \(0.75 I_0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.375 I_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_p = I_0 / 2\) \(I_A = I_p \cos^2 (\pi/6)\) \(I_A = (I_0/2) (\sqrt{3}/2)^2\) \(I_A = (I_0/2) (3/4)\) \(I_A = 0.375 I_0\)
