Questions  

The polaroids P1, P2 and P3 are arranged coaxially. The angle between P1 and  P2 is  370. The angle between P2 and P3 is θ if intensity of emerging light is a quarter of intensity of unpolarized light then θ is equal to 

a
cos-145
b
cos-135
c
cos-1452
d
cos-1542

detailed solution

Correct option is D

according to Malus law the intensity of emergent light will be I2cos2θ1cos2θ2  = I4   according to given condition121625cos2θ2=14 cos2θ2=2532   cosθ2=542
