Question 190 of 191

When an unpolarized light of intensity I0I_0 is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 12I0\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I}_0

When unpolarised light of intensity I0\mathrm{I}_0 is incident on a polarizing sheet, only I0/2\mathrm{I}_0 / 2 is transmitted.
