It is desirable to make wave sheets from mikadan, which have a double crusher property and can be easily processed. When yellow light of 589 Nm is sent to such a waveplate, the electric field vector of light has refractive indices of 1.5997 and 1.5941, depending on whether it is perpendicular or parallel to the optical axis. According to thisa) What should be the minimum thickness of Quarter, Half, Full wave sheets.b) How does the beam that comes out change when linear 1shik is dropped on these waveplates? Please describe.
Quartz is a uniaxial birefringent material with ordinary refractive index no = 1.5443 and extraordinary refractive index ne = 1.5534. It is desired to make a thin plate of quartz to convert incidentplane-polarised light of wavelength λ0 = 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.
