As shown in figure a two slit arrangement with a source (S) which emits unpolarised light. I_(0) is the intensity of principle maxima when no polariseer is present. Now a polarised 'P' is placed as shown with its axis whose direstion is not given. Then

Answer»

the intensity PRINCIPAL MAXIMA is `(5)/(8)I_(0)`
the intensity of principal maxima is `(I_(0))/(2)`
the intensity of firstminima is zero
the intensity of first minima is `(I_(0))/(8)`

Solution :WITHOUT P :
`A=A_(_|_)+A_(11)`
`A_(_|_)=A_(_|_)^(1)+A_(_|_)^(2)=sin(kx-omega t)`
`+A_(_|_)^(@)sin(kx-omega t+phi), A_(11)=A_(11)^((1))+A_(11)^((2))`
`A_(11)=A_(11)^(@)[sin(kx-theta t)+sin(kx-omega t+phi)]`
where `A_(_|_)^(@), A_(11)^(@)` care the amplitudes of either of the beam in `_|_` and 11 polarizations.
`:. "Intensity" =`
`= = {|A_(_|_)^(0)|^(2) + |A_(11)^(@)|^(2)}`
`[sin^(2)(kx-omega t)(1+cos^(2)phi+2sin phi)`
`+sin^(2)(kx-omega)sin^(2)phi]_("average")`
`={|A_(_|_)^(0)|^(2) + |A_(11)^(@)|^(2)} ((1)/(2)).2(1+cos phi)`
`=2|A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2).(1+cos phi)since |A_(_|_)^(@)|_("average") = |A_(11)^(@)|_("average")`
With P:
Assume `A_(_|_)^(2)` is blocked:
Intensity `= (A_(11)^(1)+A_(11)^(2))+(A_(_|_)^(1))^(2)`
`= |A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2) (1+cos phi) + |A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2). (1)/(2)`
Given: `I_(0) = 4|A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2)` = intensity wityhout polariser at principal maxima. intensity principal maxima with polariser `= |A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2) (2+(1)/(2))`
`= (5)/(8)I_(0)`
Intensity at first minima with polariser
`= |A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2) (1-1)+(|A_(_|_)^(@)|^(2))/(2) = (I_(0))/(8)` .
