A beam of light of intensity $I_0$ falls on a system of three polaroids which are arranged in succession such that the pass (transmission) axis is turned through $60^{\circ}$ with respect to preceding one. The fraction of the incident light intensity that passes through the system is $\left(\cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right)$

Resolving power of a telescope can be increased by increasing

In Young's double slit experiment, the intensity on screen at a point, where path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ is $\frac{K}{4}$. The intensity at a point when path difference is ' $\lambda$ ' will be $\left[\cos \frac{\pi}{2}=0, \cos 2 \pi=1\right]$

Graph shows the variation of fringe width ( X ) versus distance of the screen from the plane of the slits (D) in Young's double slit experiment. (keeping other parameters same, $d=$ distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as
