Statement-1 : On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated.
Statement - 2 : The light coming from the sky is polarized due to scattering of sun light by particles in the atmosphere. The scattering is largest for blue light

A

Statement-1 si false, statement-2 is true

B

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false

C

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 true, statement-2 is the correct explanation of statement-1

D

statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is not correct explanation of statement-1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In polarisation intensity changes as the crystal is
Rotated in scattering for Rayleigh's law `Iprop(1)/(lamda^(4))`
`lamda` is minimum for blue, so I is larget both statements are correct and reason is also correct.

When a colloidal solution is viewed from the direction at right angles of light beam, the path of the beam is illuminated due to scattering of light . In the figure (A) and (B) are

(a) What is plane polarised light? Two polaroid sare placed at 90^(@) to each other and the transmitted intensity is zero. What happens when one more polaroid is placed between these two, bisecting the angle between them? How will the intensity of transmitted light vary on further rotating the third polaroid? (b) If a light beam shows no intensity variation when transmitted through a polaroid which is rotated, does it mean that the light is un-polarised? Explain briefly.

Statement-1: As light travels from one medium to another, thhe frequency of light doesn't change. Statement-2: Frequency is the characteristic of source.

Statement-1: in high latitude one sees colourful curtains of light hanging down from high altitudes. Statement-2: The high energy charged particles from the sun are deflected to polar regions by the magnetic field.

Statement-1 : Photoelectric effect supports the particle nature of light. That means light is not a wave in this case. Statement-2 : The particle nature and the wave nature of light coexist, what we feel is the nature that is dominating at a particular situation.

(a) Explain, using a suitable diagram, how unpolarized light gets linearly polarized by scattering.
