(a) What is a polarizer?
(b) With the aid of a diagram, explain how a polarizer can be used to polarize a beam of unpolarized light.
Verified Correct Answer: .
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Polarizer is an optical device which allows vibrations of light to pass throagh in only one phone perpendicular to the direalioniof propagation
(b)
Unpolarized Polarizer Polarized l light ight Unpolarized light vibrates in all directions and a polarized is used to block all vibrations, and transmits only light vibrations polarized in one plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
