  2. B 8 : 3
  3. C 1 : 8
  4. D 3 : 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 8 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{\text{emergent}} = \frac{I_{\text{incident}}}{2} \cos^2(45^\circ) \cos^2(45^\circ)\) \(I_{\text{emergent}} = \frac{I_{\text{incident}}}{2} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2\)…
