JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 4th September Morning Slot - No. 15)

A beam of plane polarised light of large
cross-sectional area and uniform intensity
of 3.3 Wm-2 falls normally on a
polariser (cross sectional area 3 $$ \times $$ 10-4 m2) which
rotates about its axis with an angular speed
of 31.4 rad/s. The energy of light passing through
the polariser per revolution, is close to :
1.0 $$ \times $$ 10-5 J
1.0 $$ \times $$ 10-4 J
1.5 $$ \times $$ 10-4 J
5.0 $$ \times $$ 10-4 J

Explanation

Intensity, I = 3.3 Wm–3

Area, A = 3 Ɨ 10–4 m2

Angular speed, $$\omega $$ = 31.4 rad/s

$$I = {I_0}{\cos ^2}(\omega t)$$

$$ \Rightarrow {I_{av}} = {{{I_0}} \over 2}$$

$$ \because $$ $$\left\langle {{{\cos }^2}\theta } \right\rangle $$ = $${1 \over 2}$$, in one time period

$$ \therefore $$ $$E = {{{I_0}} \over 2} \times A \times (\Delta t)$$

and $$\Delta t = {{2\pi } \over \omega } = {{2 \times 3.14} \over {31.4}} = {1 \over 5}s$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$E = {{3.3} \over 2} \times 3 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times {1 \over 5} = 1 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,J$$
