प्रश्न
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. Draw a plot showing the variation of intensity when θ varies from 0 to 2π.

उत्तर
When unpolarised light passes through the polariser P1 the intensity drops to half that is `I_o/2` and when this polarised light passes through the polariser P2 the instensity of the emitted light is
`I=I_0/2cos^2 theta`
(θ is the angle between polariser P1 and P2)
The instensity distrubution is as shown below:

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° in clockwise direction, the intensity of emerging light will be ______ Lumens.
