Physics · Polarization: plane-polarized light, Brewster's law, uses of plane-polarized light and Polaroid
Plane of polarisation is: This question has multiple correct options
Plane of polarisation is: This question has multiple correct options
- A. the plane in which vibrations of the electric vector takes place
- B. a plane perpendicular to the plane in which vibrations of the electric vector takes place
- C. perpendicular to the plane of vibration
- D. horizontal plane
Step-by-step solution
The plane of polarization is defined as the plane that contains the electric field vector and the direction of propagation. This is the plane in which the electric field vibrates, making A correct. Options B and C refer to the plane perpendicular to the electric field (the plane of the magnetic field), which is not the standard definition. Option D is not universally true.
