Ordinary light is turned into plane-polarized light by passing it through a lens made of the material known as Polaroid. It consists of

A

cellulose chloride

B

cellulose nitrate

C

cellulose sulphate

D

cellulose carbonate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Polaroid is the trade name of thin transparent films that produce plane-polarised light on transmission. They consist of thin sheets of cellulose niture packed with ultramicroscopic doubly refracting crystals with their optical axes parallel. The crystal produce plane polarized light by differential adsorption of the ordinary and extraodinary rays.
