A plane polarized light is incident on a polariser with its pass axis making angle \(\theta\) with \(x-\) axis, as shown in the figure. At four different values of \(\theta\), \(\theta\, = 8^o, 38^o, 188^o\) and \(218^o\), the observed intensities are same. What is the angle between the direction of polarization and \(x-\) axis.....\(^o\)

  1. A \(203\)
  2. B \(45\)
  3. C \(98\)
  4. D \(128\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(203\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the angle between polarization direction and \(x\) -axis be \(\theta^{\prime}\) So angle between polarisation direction and pass axis of polariser is \(\left(\theta^{\prime}-\theta\right)\) Given \(\theta = {8^o},{88^o},\,{188^o},\,\,{218^o}\)…
