Draw diagrams to show polarised and unpolarised light are represented in a ray diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Linearly polarised light is represented in a ray diagram by double-headed arrows drawn perpendicular to a ray of light, or by dots, as shown in fig. (a). The dots are the 'end views' of arrows that are oriented normal to the plane to the diagram. An unpolarised light is represented by both dots and arrows, as shown in fig(b).
