QUIZ:
Polarized Light
|
Which of the following statements BEST describes what happens when plane polarized light enters an anisotropic mineral? |
|
| The light beam continues through unaffected, other than slowing down and refracting slightly. |  |
| The beam splits into two refracted plane polarized beams that vibrate perpendicular and parallel to the vibration direction of the light that entered the mineral. |  |
| The beam splits into two refracted plane-polarized beams that vibrate at oblique angles to the vibration direction of the light that entered the mineral. |  |
| The beam splits into two perpendicular refracted plane-polarized beams that generally vibrate perpendicular and parallel to the orientation of the micro-crystals in the polarizer. |  |
