Two circular linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is 30° from the vertical while the second one is at 60°, both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity, I=20 W m-2 is incident on this pair of polarisers, then the intensities I1 and I2 transmitted by the first and the second polarisers, respectively, will be close to,

Astronomers have observed that light coming from far away stars do not show the same spectrum as observed on Earth. Each wavelength is shifted slightly towards the red end of the spectrum. It is observed that the 1st line of Lyman series shows 121 nm on Earth, but from the star it shows 122 nm. The speed of the star with respect to Earth is close to
