उत्तर
Polarisation by Reflection
An ordinary beam of light, on reflection from a transparent medium, becomes partially polarised. The degree of polarisation increases as the angle of incidence is increased. At a particular value of the angle of incidence, the reflected beam becomes completely polarised. This angle of incidence is called the polarising angle (p).

Unpolarised light is passed through a polaroid P1. When this polarised beam passes through another polaroid P2 and if the pass axis of P2 makes angle θ with the pass axis of P1, then write the expression for the polarised beam passing through P2.
