Q. When an unpolarized light of intensity $I_{0}$ is incident on a polarizing sheet, the intensity of the light which does not get transmitted is
A) Zero
B) $I_{0}$
C) $\frac{1}{2}I_{0}$
D) $\frac{1}{4}I_{0}$
Explanation
(c) If an unpolarised light is converted into plane polarized light by passing through a polaroid, it’s intensity becomes half
