Question

In polarised light the angle between plane of vibration and plane of polarization is

• A. \(0^\circ\)
• B. \(45^\circ\)
• C. \(90^\circ\)
• D. \(180^\circ\)

Hint:

In polarized light, the angle between the plane of vibration and the plane of polarization is always \(90^\circ\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding polarization.
Polarized light refers to light in which the vibrations occur in a single plane. The plane of polarization is the direction in which the electric field vector of the light oscillates.
Step 2: Angle between vibration and polarization plane.
In polarized light, the plane of vibration and the plane of polarization are at a right angle, i.e., \(90^\circ\) apart. This means that the light wave’s electric field oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the plane of polarization.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the angle between the plane of vibration and the plane of polarization is \(90^\circ\).
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: 90°}} \]
