Question:
Linearly polarized light (free space wavelength π0= 600nm) is incident normally on a retarding plate (ππ-ππ = 0.05 at π0= 600nm). The emergent light is observed to be linearly polarized, irrespective of the angle between the direction of polarization and the optic axis of the plate. The minimum thickness (in Β΅m) of the plate is:
