Q.

Unpolarized light is incident on a polaroid. Intensity of transmitted light is I0. Two such polaroids are placed at 900 to each other and N-1 more polaroids are inserted between them such that the angle between axes of any two adjacent polaroids is same. Intensity of transmitted light is I=I0cosπ2NKN. find the value of K.

Detailed Solution

Let Iin be the intensity of input unpolarized light
Intensity of light after crossing the first polaroid, I0=Iin2
In the second case, after the light crosses the first polarizer, it passes through N more polaroids. While crossing each polaroid, its intensity decreases by a factor of cos2θ. Final transmitted intensity,
I=Iin2cos2θN=I0cosθ2N

Also, Nθ=π2    θ=π2N

I=I0cosπ2N2N
