MCQ
Light transmitted by nicol prism is:
  • A
    Unpolarised
  • B
    Plane polarised
  • C
    Circular polarised
  • D
    Elliptically polarised

Answer

  1. Plane polarised

Explanation:

Nicol prism is a polariser in which the O-ray is eliminated by total internal reflection and the light transmitted through it, is E-ray which is completely plane polarised light.
