MCQ
When light is incident on a doubly refracting crystal, two refracted rays-ordinary ray $(O$-ray) and extra ordinary ray $(E$-ray) are produced. Then
  • A
    Both $O$-ray and $E$-ray are polarised perpendicular to the plane of incidence
  • B
    Both $O$-ray and $E$-ray are polarised in the plane of incidence
  • C
    $E$-ray is polarised perpendicular to the plane of incidence and $O$-ray in the plane of incidence
  • $E$-ray is polarised in the plane of incidence and $O$-ray perpendicular to the plane of incidence

Answer

Correct option: D.
$E$-ray is polarised in the plane of incidence and $O$-ray perpendicular to the plane of incidence
