This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer- (c)
Explanation-Consider the diagram the light beam incident from air to the glass slab at Brewster's angle (ip ). The incident ray is unpolarised and is represented by dot (.).
The reflected light is plane polarised represented by arrows.
As the emergent ray is unpolarised, hence intensity cannot be zero when passes through polaroid.

Explanation- T2P= T2O+OP= D+x
T1P= T1O-OP= D-x
S1P =
S2P=
The minima will occur when S2P- S1P= (2n-1)
- =
[D2+4D2]1/2-[D2+0]1/2=
[5D2]1/2- [D2]1/2=
D-D=
we get D= 0.404

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- When angle of incidence is equal to Brewster's angle, the transmitted light is unpolarised and reflected light is plane polarised.

Consider the diagram in which unpolarised light is represented by dot and plane polarised light is represented By arrows.
Polarisation by reflection occurs when the angle of incidence Is the Brewster's angle
So tanib = where 2< 1
When the light rays travels in such a medium, the critical angle is
Sinic=
Where 2< 1
As tanib > sinic for large angles ibc
Thus the polarisation by reflection occurs definitely.

In the figure
Band width = w2-w1 where these two corresponds to frequencies at which magnitude of current is 1/ times of maximum value

Irms= = 1/ = 0.7A
From the diagram the corresponding frequencies are 0.8 and 1.2rad/s

Explanation- As per the given question, monochromatic light emerging from polaroid (I) is plane polarised. When polaroid (II) is placed infront of this polaroid (I), and rotated till no light passes through polaroid (II), then (I) and (II) are set in crossed positions, i.e., pass axes of I and II are at 90°.

Consider the above diagram where a third polaroid (III) is placed between polaroid (I) and polaroid II.

When a third polaroid (III) is placed in between (I) and (II), no light will emerge from (II), if pass axis of (III) is parallel to pass axis of (I) or (II). In

Explanation- As we know that the frequencies of sound waves lie between 20 Hz to 20 kHz so that their wavelength ranges between 15 m to 15 mm. The diffraction occur if the wavelength of waves is nearly equal to slit width.
As the wavelength of light waves is 7000 *10-10 m to 4000 10-10m. The slit width is very near to the wavelength of sound waves as compared to light waves. Thus, the diffraction of sound waves is more evident in daily life than that of light waves.
