Question
(a) How does an unpolarized light incident on a Polaroid get polarized? Describe briefly, with the help of a necessary diagram, the polarization of light by reflection form a transparent medium.
(b) Two polaroids ′A′ and ′B′ are kept in crossed position. How should a third Polaroid ′C′ be placed between them so that the intensity of polarized light transmitted by Polaroid B reduces to 1/8th of the intensity of unpolarized light incident of A?
