Polarization

Question 1

plane polarized ligh

Answer 1

all of the light rays have electric fields with parallel orientation

Question 2

plane polarized light is created by passing unpolarized light through a

Answer 2

polarizer

Question 3

in circularly polarized light,

Answer 3

all of the light rays have electric fields with equal intensity but constantly rooting direction

Circular polarized light has a uniform amplitude but a continuously changing direction which causes a helical orientation in the propagating wave.

Question 4

circularly polarized light is created by

Answer 4

exposing unpolarized light to special pigments or filters

Question 5

unpolarized light

Answer 5

has random orientation of its electric field vectors

Question 6

the optical activity of a compound, due to the presence of chiral centers, causes plane - polarized light to rotate

Answer 6

clockwise or counterclockwise by a given number of degrees relative to its concentration (SPECIFIC ROTATION)
