Explanation 1) Concept: We use the concept of change in intensity of light by polarization. We can consider the number of sheets required to get the required intensity. 2) Formulae: I = I 0 cos 2 ⁡ θ 3) Calculations: a) The rotation cannot be done with a single sheet. If the direction of incident light and the sheet is 90 0 with each other, then there is no transmission of polarized light. It can be done with two sheets. We can use the sheet with angle θ between 0 to 90 0 to the direction of polarization of incident light. We can place the second sheet with 90 0 with the original direction of polarized light. Polarization is rotated again by 90 0 - θ . The intensity will not be zero if the first angle is specified between 0 < θ < 90 0 . We can write the intensity as I = I 0 cos 2 ⁡ θ × cos 2 ⁡ ( 90 0 - θ ) We can write I = I 0 cos 2 ⁡ θ × sin 2 ⁡ θ Therefore, we need two sheets. b) We can find the number of sheets using the angle θ = 90 0 n relative to the direction of polarization of incident light. The polarizing direction of successive sheet is rotated 90 0 n like the previous sheet. The direction of transmitted polarized light is 90 0 with the direction of incident light. We can write the intensity as I = I 0 cos 2 n ⁡ 90 0 n Using the value of n = 1,2 , 3 …
