JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics
An unpolarized light of intensity \(I_o\) passes through polarizer and then through a certain optically active solution and finally it goes to analyser. If the angle between analyser and polariser is \(0°\) and intensity of light emerged from analyser is \(\dfrac{3}{8}I_o\), the angle of rotation of the light by the solution with respect to analyser is _______ degrees.
- A 15
- B 25
- C 30
- D 35
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 30
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Intensity of light after passing through the first polarizer is: \(I_1 = \dfrac{I_o}{2}\) Let the optically active solution rotate the plane of polarization by an angle \(\theta\). Since the angle between the polarizer and the analyser is \(0^\circ\), the angle between the plane…
