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.

  1. A 15
  2. B 25
  3. C 30
  4. D 35
Verified Solution

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…
