Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • Normal light has electric field vectors that will vibrate in all perpendicular planes with respect to the direction of propagation.

 

  • Polarization is the process by which these vibrations are confined to a single plane by filtration.

 

  • Polarization angle is given by,

θP=tan−1(ninf)

Here ni is the refractive index of the initial medium light takes and nf is the refractive index of the final medium light takes.
