To answer the question, "Name any two characteristics of light which do not change on polarisation," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Polarisation Polarisation of light refers to the process in which the vibrations of light waves are restricted to a particular direction. This means that while the light may be unpolarised initially, it can be made to vibrate in a single plane when it passes through a polarising filter or material. ### Step 2: Identify Characteristics of Light When light is polarised, certain characteristics remain unchanged. The two main characteristics of light that do not change upon polarisation are: ...
