Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ is incident on a system of two polarizers, $A$ followed by $B$. The intensity of emergent light is $\frac{I}{2}$ . If a third the polarizer $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$ the intensity of emergent light is reduced to $\frac{I}{3}$ . The angle between the polarizers $A$ and $C$ is $\theta$ , then

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is $60^{\circ}$ . The width of the slit is $1\mu m$. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of the same width is made near it, Young's fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance $50 \mathrm{cm}$ from the slits. If the observed fringe width is $1 \mathrm{cm}$, what is slit separation distance? (i.e., the distance between the centres of each slit.)

A plane polarized light is incident on a polariser with its pass axis making angle $\theta$ with $\mathrm{x}$-axis, as shown in the figure. At four different values of $\theta, \theta=8^{\circ}, 38^{\circ}, 188^{\circ}$ and $218^{\circ}$, the observed intensities are same.

Unpolarized light of intensity $I$ passes through an ideal polariser $A$. Another identical polariser $B$ is placed behind $A$. The intensity of light beyond B is found to be $\frac{I}{2}$. Now another identical polariser $C$ is placed between $A$ and $B$. The intensity beyond B is now found to be $\frac{I}{8}$ . The angle between polariser $A$ and $C$ is
