Two polaroids are placed at an angle of \(45^\circ\) to each other. If an unpolarized light of intensity \(I_0\) falls as one polaroid, then the intensity of light leaves the second polaroid is:
1. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4} \) 4. \( \dfrac{I_0}{8}\)

Young's double-slit experiment is performed with a slit separation of \(0.2~\text{mm},\) and the incident light falling normally on the double-slit. When the direction of incident light is changed by \(25\times10^{-3}\) radian, the central maximum shifts to the position of the \(10^{\text{th}}\) maximum. The wavelength of light used is:
1. \(250~\text{nm}\)
2. \(500~\text{nm}\)
3. \(1000~\text{nm}\)
4. \(1250~\text{nm}\)
