When a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids, the transmitted light intensity will be maximum for a rotation of [2024]
60°
30°
90°
45°
(D) Let be intensity of unpolarised light incident on first polaroid.
Intensity of light transmitted from polaroid
be the angle between and polaroid
be the angle between and polaroid
(as and polaroid are crossed)
Intensity from second polaroid
Intensity from polaroid
will be maximum when sin
A beam of unpolarised light of intensity is passed through a polaroid A and then through another polaroid B which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of relative to that of A. The intensity of emergent light is [2024].

When unpolarized light is incident at an angle of 60 on a transparent medium from air, the reflected ray is completely polarized. The angle of refraction in the medium is [2024]

By Brewster's law
At complete reflection refracted ray and reflected ray are perpendicular.
