When an unpolarized light of intensity `I_(0)` is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is
A. `1/2I_(0)`
B. `1/4I_(0)`
C. zero
D. `I_(0)`
A. `1/2I_(0)`
B. `1/4I_(0)`
C. zero
D. `I_(0)`
Correct Answer – A
`l=l_(0)cos^(2)theta`
Intensity of polarised light = `l_(0)/2`
`therefore` Intensity of untrabsmitted light = `l_(0)-l_(0)/2=l_(0)/2`
