A polarizer - analyser set is adjusted such that the intensity of light coming out of the analyser is just of the original intensity. Assuming that the polarizer - analyser set does not absorb any light, the angle by which the analyser needs to be rotated further, to reduce the output intensity to zero, is

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness t and refractive index is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gets shifted by a distance equal to n fringe width.
