When a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids then the transmitted light intensity will be maximum for a rotation of :

  1. A  \(60^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(30^{\circ}\)
  3. C  \(90^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(45^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(45^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I_0\) be intensity of unpolarised light incident on first polaroid. \(I_1=\) Intensity of light transmitted from \(1^{\text {st }}\) polaroid \(=\frac{I_0}{2}\) \(\theta\) be the angle between \(1^{\text {st }}\) and \(2^{\text {nd }}\) polaroid \(\phi\) be the angle…
