MCQ
Human eye:
- ACan detect polarized light
- ✓Cannot detect polarization of light
- CCan detect only circularly polarized light
- DCan detect only linearly polarized light
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Cannot detect polarization of light
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.
