Question:

The intensity of transmitted light is maximum when a Polaroid sheet ($P_2$) is rotated between two crossed Polaroids, $P_1$ and $P_3$ when

Options:

the angle between $P_1$ and $P_2$ and $P_2$ and $P_3$ will be $\frac{\pi}{4}$

polaroids $P_1$ and $P_2$ are crossed

angle between $P_1$ and $P_2$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$ and between $P_2$ and $P_3$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}$

the angle between $P_2$ and $P_3$ does not matter

Correct Answer:

the angle between $P_1$ and $P_2$ and $P_2$ and $P_3$ will be $\frac{\pi}{4}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → the angle between $P_1$ and $P_2$ and $P_2$ and $P_3$ will be $\frac{\pi}{4}$
