MCQ
Human eye:
- ACan detect polarized light
- BCannot detect polarization of light
- CCan detect only circularly polarized light
- DCan detect only linearly polarized light
✓
Answer
- Cannot detect polarization of light
Explanation:
Polarization changes when plane of vibration of polarized light changes.
Human eye is insensitive to change in polarization and hence, cannot detect polarization of light.
