The two statements are given below
Statement I When unpolarised light is incident on the polariser, the intensity of the transmitted polarised light remains unchanged.
Statement II Polarisation is convincing proof of transverse nature of light wave.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe wave nature of light is explained by polarisation. Since, only transverse wave can be polarsied. Thus, polarisation is convincing proof of transverse nature of light wave. When unpolarised light is incident on the polariser, the intensity of the transmitted polarised light remains half the intensity of unpolarised light.
