A unpolarized beam of light having flux W falls normally on a rotating polarizer of cross-sectional area . If the energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution is J, then the polarizer is rotating with the angular frequency of
Options
- A rad /s
- B rad/s
- C rad/s
- D rad/s
Correct answer
A. rad /s
Step-by-step solution
The incident power (radiant flux) of the unpolarized light is W.
When unpolarized light passes through a polarizer, the transmitted intensity is half of the incident intensity. Therefore, the transmitted power is W.
The energy transmitted per revolution is given by , where is the time period of one revolution.
Substituting the given values:
s
The angular frequency of the rotating polarizer is .
rad/s.
