Define the term 'linearly polarised light'. When does the intensity of transmitted light become maximum, when a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids ?
Linearly Dependent
(a) How does an unpolarized light incident on polaroid get polarized ? Describe briefly, with the help of necessary diagram, the polarization of light by reflection from a transparent medium. (b) Two polaroids 'A' and 'B' are kept in crossed position. How should a third polaroid 'C' be placed between them so that the inlensity of polarized light transmitted by polaroid B reduces to 1//8^(th) of the intensity of unpolarized incident on A?
