### Solution: **(a) What is linearly polarized light? Describe briefly using a diagram how sunlight is polarized.** **Definition of Linearly Polarized Light:** Linearly polarized light is light in which the electric field oscillates in a single plane. This occurs when unpolarized light passes through a polarizer, allowing only the electric field components that are aligned with the polarizer's axis to transmit through. **Diagram Explanation:** ...
