Question A5Quartz is a uniaxial birefringent material with ordinary refractive index no = 1.5443 and extraordi-nary refractive index ne = 1.5534. It is desired to make a thin plate of quartz to convert incidentplane-polarised light of wavelength 0 = 633 nm into outgoing circular-polarised light.Define the terms "birefringent" and "uniaxial"; calculate the required minimum thickness of theplate; and state the required orientation of the no and ne axes relative to the plane of polarisationof the incident light.
