Polaroid glass is used in sun glasses because

  • it reduces the light intensity to half on account of polarisation

  • it is fashionable

  • it has good colour

  • it is cheaper


46.

In a Young's double slit experiment the spacing between the slits is 0.3 mm and the screen is kept at a distance of 1.5 m. The second bright fringe is found 6 mm from the central fringe. The wavelength of the light used in the experiment is

Assertion: When light ray is incident at polarising angle on glass, refracted light is partially polarised. 

Reason:  The intensity of light decreases in polarisation.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason 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.


D.

If both assertion and reason are false.

Light reflected (in the rarer medium) is completely polarised. The intensity of light does not change in polarisation.

According to Brewster's law, relationship for light waves stating that the maximum polarization ( vibration in one plane only) of a ray of light may be achieved by letting the ray fall of a transparent medium in such a way that refracted ray makes an angle 90o with the reflected ray.

Assertion: A laser beam of 0.2 W power can drill holes through a metal sheet, whereas a 1000 W torch-light cannot. 

Reason: The frequency of laser light is much higher than that of torch light.

  • 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.
