Solution

Linearly polarised light is the light wave in which the vibration of electric field vectors are confined in one plane and parallel to one unique direction. The intensity of transmitted light becomes maximum when the inserted polaroid and analyser (the Polaroid which receives light that is transmitted by inserted polaroid) have their axes parallel to each other.
