JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

An unpolarized light beam is incident on the polarizer of a polarization experiment and the intensity of light beam emerging from the analyzer is measured as \(100\) Lumens. Now, if the analyzer is rotated around the horizontal axis (direction of light) by \(30^{\circ}\) in clockwise direction, the intensity of emerging light will be .......... Lumens.

  1. A \(150\)
  2. B \(50\)
  3. C \(75\)
  4. D \(100\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(75\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now emerging intensity \(=\frac{ I _{0}}{2} \cos ^{2} 30^{\circ}\) \(=100\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{2}=100 \times \frac{3}{4}=75\)
