In case of linearly polarised light, the magnitude of the electric field vector
does not change with time
varies periodically with time
increases and decreases linearly with time
is parallel to the direction of propagation
B.
varies periodically with time
The orientation of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is defined by the direction of the electric field vector. For example, if the electric field vector is vertical ( alternately up and down as the wave travels ) the radiation is said to be vertically polarized.
The magnitude of electric field vector varies periodically with time because it is the form of electromagnetic wave.
Assertion: The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle.
Reason: The impurities meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
Assertion: There are very small sporadic changes in the period of rotation of the earth.
Reason: Shi fling of large air masses in the earth's atmosphere produce a change in the moment of inertia of the earth causing its period of rotation to change.
