How will you identify with the help of an experiment whether a given beam of light is of polarized light or of unpolarised light?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To identify whether a given beam of light is polarized or unpolarized, we can perform a simple experiment using a polaroid filter. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Setup the Experiment**: - Take a beam of light that you want to test (this can be from a light source such as a lamp). - Position a polaroid filter in the path of the beam of light. ...
