Two beams, A and B, of plane polarized light with mutually perpendicular planes of polarization are seen through a polaroid. From the position when the beam A has maximum intensity (and beam B has zero intensity), a rotation of polaroid through 30° makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are IA and IB respectively, then \(\frac{I_{A}}{I_{B}}\) equals:
  1. \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. 1
  3. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. 3

Answer

(C) 1 3
