Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field in polarized light?
Step 1: Understand that light is an electromagnetic wave, which means it has both electric and magnetic fields.
Step 2: In polarized light, the electric field oscillates in a specific direction.
Step 3: The magnetic field oscillates in a direction that is at a right angle (90 degrees) to the electric field.
Step 4: This means that if you know the direction of the electric field, you can find the direction of the magnetic field by imagining a line that is perpendicular to it.
