Statement - 1 : On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated.
Statement – 2 : The light coming from the sky is polarized due to scattering of sun light by particles in the atmosphere. The scattering is largest for blue light
