The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements A and R separately and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement A Statement A claims that "The unpolarised light and polarised light can be distinguished from each other by using polaroid." - **Explanation**: This statement is true. A polaroid is a device that can filter light waves, allowing only those that are aligned with its axis to pass through. When unpolarised light (which contains waves vibrating in all directions) passes through a polaroid, it becomes polarised light, and the intensity of the transmitted light is reduced. This reduction in intensity can be measured, allowing us to distinguish between unpolarised and polarised light. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement R Statement R claims that "A polaroid is capable of producing plane polarised beams of light." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. A polaroid works by absorbing light waves that are not aligned with its transmission axis, thus producing plane polarised light. The light that emerges from the polaroid is polarised in a single plane, which is a characteristic of plane polarised light. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both statements A and R are true, and R provides a correct explanation for A, we can conclude that both statements are correct and related. ### Final Answer Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ---
