Problem

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∘30^\circ makes the two beams appear equally bright. If the initial intensities of the two beams are IAI_A and IBI_B respectively, then IAIB\frac{I_A}{I_B} equals: a. 3 b. 32\frac{3}{2} c. 1 d. 13\frac{1}{3}
