Two Polaroids are placed in such a way that their axes make an angle of 60° with each other. If an unpolarized light is incident on a system of these Polaroids, the fraction of transmitted light to the incident light will be

  1. A zero
  2. B 1/8
  3. C 3/8
  4. D 5/8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1/8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0\) \(I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{2}I_0 \cos^2 60^\circ\) \(\frac{I_2}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8}\)
