Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 24R
To determine
To Compare: Polarized light and unpolarized light.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Light is a type of wave that carries energy through matter or space. Light waves carry radiant energy.
Comparison between Polarized light and unpolarized light is mentioned below:
| Polarized light | unpolarized light |
| Coherent in nature | Incoherent in nature |
| Intensity depends on the nature of polarized light used. | Intensity depends on the nature of source. |
| Electric fields oscillating in single direction | electric field oscillating in all directions |
Conclusion: The oscillation in polarized light is confined to one plane whereas in unpolarized light, oscillation occur in various plane.
