The observation of thin slices of transparent rocks in polarized light and through an analyzer can
make appear bright colors in some crystals that usually are transparent. What is the particularity
of these crystals? How is this property called? (You don't need to explain the formation
mechanism of the colors.)

Young's experimental setup can be used to monitor the width of the lead wires in transistors. The cables are placed in a narrow opening as shown in the figure. The opening is illuminated with highly coherent light. The position of the tenth maximum is measured on a screen located at 0.5m. The expected diameter of the wires is 0.100±0.005 mm. (a) What is the maximum deviation that the position of the tenth maximum can have so that the cable has an acceptable diameter? What would happen if the first maximum was used as the criterion, would the decision be easier or more difficult?

Learning Goal: To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters. The two transverse waves shown in the figure (Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The upper wave is described as polarized in the +x direction whereas the lower wave is polarized in the +y direction. In general, waves can be polarized along any direction. Recall that electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and X rays, consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The polarization of an electromagnetic wave refers to the oscillation direction of the electric field, not the magnetic field. In this problem all figures depicting light waves illustrate only the electric field. A linear polarizing filter,…
