Question
In case of linearly polarised light, the magnitude of the electric field vector:
Options
A.does not change with time
B.varies periodically with time
C.increasrs and decreases linearly with time
D.is parallel to the direction of propagation
Solution
In any type of light whether polarised or upolarised, the magnitude of electric fieldvector always varies periodically with time Actually the change in electric field vector give rise to periodicqally changing magnetic field.
