Three identical polaroids P₁, P₂ and P₃ are placed one after another. The pass axis of P ₂ and P₃ are inclined at an angle 60^ and 90^ with respect to axis of P ₁ . The source has an intensity I₀ . The intensity of transmitted light through P₃ is ( 60^ =0.5, 30^ = 3 2 )
Options
- AI ₀ 8
- B3 I₀ 16
- C3 I ₀ 32
- DI ₀ 32
Correct answer
C. 3 I ₀ 32
Step-by-step solution
According to Malus' law, I = I ₀ ^2 When beam passed through P ₁ , I = I ₀ 2 When beam passed through P ₂ , aligned I ₂ & = I ₀ 2 ^2 60^ I ₂ & = I ₀ 8 aligned When beam passed through P ₃ , I ₃= I ₀ 8 ^2 30^ = I ₀ 8 ( 3 2 )^2= 3 I ₀ 32
