A beam of ordinary unpolarised light passes through a tourmaline crystal C1{C_1} and then it passes through another tourmaline crystal C2{C_2}, which is oriented such that its principal plane is parallel to that of C2{C_2}. The intensity if emergent light is I0{I_0}. Now C2{C_2} is rotated by 60∘60^\circ about the ray. The emergent ray will have an intensity
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
I0/4{I_0}/4
The correct answer is C (I0/4{I_0}/4) because the intensity is reduced by a factor of cos²(θ) after passing through the second polarizer, and the initial intensity is already halved by the first polarizer.
