alleryStart learning →Two polaroids have parallel polarizing axes. What happens to the intensity of light as it passes the second one?
AIt drops to half
BIt falls to zero
CIt remains the same
DIt is doubled up
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It remains the same
With theta equal to zero, cos^2 theta is 1, so the second polaroid passes the whole polarized beam.
