Which of the following statements about the behavior of light when passing through polaroids is correct?
A
The transmitted intensity through two polarids can be adjusted from 100% to 0%.
B
The intensity of light passing through a single polaroid is always equal to the incident intensity.
C
The angle between the pass-axes of two polarids affects the intensity of transmitted light.
D
The electric vector oscillation direction remains unchanged when light passes through a single polaroid.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The angle between the pass-axes of two polaroids indeed affects the transmitted intensity as per Malus' law, allowing adjustment from 50% to 0% of the incident intensity.
