Question

Which of the following statements are correct regarding polarization of light?

• A. A light wave vibrating in more than one plane is called as unpolarized light
• B. A light wave vibrating in more than one plane is called as polarized light
• C. A polarized light wave is a form of sound wave
• D. A polarizer is a device which is used to transmit a wave vibrating in a single plane to a wave vibrating in more than one plane.

Answer 1

The correct option is A A light wave vibrating in more than one plane is called as unpolarized light

The process of converting unpolarized light to polarized light is known as polarization. A light wave vibrating in more than one plane is called as unpolarized light. When this light is passed through a polarizer which is an optical filter, it filters the beam of unpolarized light into a beam of light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane.
Light waves are the electromagnetic waves.
