Q.

A beam of plane polarised light of large cross-sectional area and uniform intensity of  3.3  Wm2 falls normally on a polariser (cross sectional area 3×104m2 ) which rotates about its axis with an angular speed of 31.4 rad/s. The energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution, is close to :

Malus law for polarised light     I=I0cos2θ
Here  I0=3.3W/m2
θ=ωt  where  ω=10πrad/s
Energy  E=IAdt

=I0 Acos2ωtdt=I0 Aω02πcos2ωt(ωt)=I0 Aωπ =(3.3)3×10-410=0.99×10-4 J
