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
- A zero
- B 1/8
- C 3/8
- D 5/8
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 1/8
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0\) \(I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{2}I_0 \cos^2 60^\circ\) \(\frac{I_2}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8}\)

- Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location and do not spread to other parts of the body and cause little damage. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells called neoplastic or tumor cells. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous neoplastic cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents. Ionising radiations like X-rays and gamma rays and non-ionizing radiations like UV cause cancer. Cancer-causing viruses are called oncogenic viruses which have viral oncogenes. The substances to which an immune response is produced are called allergens. The antibodies produced to these are of IgE type. Common examples of allergens are mites in dust, pollens, animal dander, etc. The primary lymphoid organs are bone marrow and thymus. The secondary lymphoid organs provide the sites for interaction of lymphocytes with the antigen, which then proliferate to become effector cells.
Which one of the following antibodies are produced in response to the allergens?CUET 2025 Medium - Acidified potassium dichromate oxidises iodides to \(\underline{X}\), sulphides to \(\underline{Y}\) and tin (II) to \(\underline{Z}\). \(X\), \(Y\) and \(Z\) respectively are:CUET 2023 Hard
