Unpolarised light rays of intensity I0 is passed through a polaroid A and then through another polaroid B which is oriented in such a way that its principal plane makes an angle of 45o relative to that of A. What will be the intensity of the emergent light ?

a
I04
b
I08
c
I0
d
I02

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Relation between intensities isWhen unpolarised light passes the polaroid, intensity become half.IA=Io2 B=IAcos2⁡45∘IB=I02cos2⁡45∘=I02×12=I04
