NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describe the behavior of light as it passes through two polaroids?
The transmitted intensity can be adjusted from maximum to minimum by varying the angle between the polaroids.
The intensity remains constant regardless of the angle between the polaroids.
The electric vector oscillates at the same angle as the first polaroid's axis.
The intensity becomes zero if the angle between the polaroids is 45 degrees.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A accurately reflects the behavior of light through two polaroids, where the intensity can indeed be adjusted based on the angle. Statement B is incorrect as intensity does change with angle, while Statement C misrepresents the relationship between the electric vector and polaroid axes. Statement D is incorrect because the intensity becomes zero only at 90 degrees, not 45 degrees.
