A system of three polarizers 
is set up such that the pass axis of 
is crossed with respect to that of 
. The pass axis of 
is inclined at 
to the pass axis of 
. When a beam of unpolarized light of intensity 10 is incident on 
, the intensity of light transmitted by the three polarizers is 
. The ratio 
equals (nearly) :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Since unpolarized light falls on 
Intensity of light transmitted from 
.
Pass axis of 
will be at an angle of 
with 
Intensity of light transmitted from
Pass axis of 
is at an angle of 
with 
Intensity of light transmitted from
