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. | \( \dfrac{I_0}{8}\) |

Unpolarised light of intensity \(X\) is incident on a polarising sheet. A second polaroid whose pass-axis makes an angle \(30^\circ\) with the pass-axis of the first polaroid is kept behind it. The intensity of the light that gets transmitted after the second polaroid is:
| 1. | \(X\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{3X}{8}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{X}{4}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{X}{2}\) |

An unpolarised light beam of intensity \(2I_0\) is passed through a polaroid \(P\) and then through another polaroid \(Q\) which is oriented in such a way that its passing axis makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) relative to that of \(P\). The intensity of the emergent light is:
1. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4} \)
2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2} \)
3. \(\dfrac{3 I_0}{4} \)
4. \(\dfrac{3 I_0}{2}\)

Two polarisers \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are placed such that the angle between their transmission axis is \(45^{\circ}\). Ordinary light is passed through \(P_1,\) \(I_1\) intensity is observed and when this light is passed through \(P_2,\) \(I_2\) intensity is observed. The ratio of \(\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\) is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{4}{3}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) |
| 3. | \(2\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) |
