Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Wave Optics, Exercise 1: Exercise

Mention some applications of Polaroids.

What happens to the reflected light when the angle of incidence is greater than the polarising angle.

What happens to the intensity of the unpolarized light when it is passed through a polarizer?

What is the condition for a reflected light to be linearly polarised?

State the reason, why two independent sources of light cannot be considered as coherent sources.

What does it mean to be in the same phase of two waves?

In Young's double-slit experiment. If the distance between the two slits is equal to the wavelength of used light. Then the maximum number of bright fringes obtained on the screen will be

Show using a proper diagram how unpolarized light can be linearly polarised by reflection from a transparent glass surface.
