Question
The figure shows four pairs of polarizing sheets, seen face-on. Each pair is mounted in the path of initially unpolarized light. The polarizing direction of each sheet (indicated by the dashed line) is referenced to either a horizontal x-axis or a vertical y axis. Rank the pair according to the fraction of the initial intensity that they pass, greatest first
- (i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)
- (i) > (iv) > (ii) > (iii)
- (i) > (iii) > (ii) > (iv)
- (iv) > (iii) > (ii) > (i)
The correct answer is: (i) > (iv) > (ii) > (iii)

Redox equations are balanced either by ion-electron method or by oxidation number method. Both methods lead to the correct from of the balanced equation. The ion electron method has two advantages. So some chemists prefer to use the ion-electron method for redox reactions carried out in dilute aqueous solutions, where free ions have more or less independent existence The oxidation state method for redox reactions is mostly used for solid chemicals or for reactions in concentrated acid media For the reaction 
The -factor is
