(I) Dots and arrows indicates that both polarisations are present in the incident and refracted waves.
(II) The reflected light is not linearly polarised.
(III) Transmitted intensity will be zero when the axis of the analyser is in the plane of the figure, i.e. the plane of incidence.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct with reference to the figure given?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
The statements I and III are correct but II is incorrect and it can be corrected as,
As the figure shows, the reflected light is linearly polarised perpendicular to the plane of the figure (represented by dots). This can be checked by looking at the reflected light through an analyser.
