A light beam traveling along the \(x\text-\)axis with a planar wavefront is incident on a medium of thickness \(t\). In the region, where light is falling, the refractive index can be taken to be varying such that \(\dfrac{dn}{dy}>0.\) The light beam on the other side of the medium will emerge:
1. parallel to the \(x\text-\)axis
2. bending downward
3. bending upward
4. split into two or more beams

Polarized light incident on a polaroid. Let \(I_{0}\) be the intensity of light transmitted by this polaroid. Now, a very large number (say \(N\)) of polaroids are placed in a row with their axes displaced through a small angle \(\theta\) successively. If the last polaroid is crossed to the first one, the intensity of light transmitted by the last polaroid is about:

1. Zero 2. \(\dfrac{I_{0}}{2}\)
3. \(I_{0}\) 4. \(\dfrac{I_{0}}{N}\)
