Q: Which of the following statements about circularly polarized light is true?
Solution:
Circularly polarized light has no preferred direction of oscillation; the electric field vector rotates in a circular motion.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what circularly polarized light is. It is a type of light where the electric field oscillates in a circular pattern.
Step 2: Recognize that in circularly polarized light, the electric field does not have a fixed direction; it rotates around the direction of travel.
Step 3: Compare this with linearly polarized light, where the electric field oscillates in a straight line.
Step 4: Conclude that the statement about circularly polarized light having no preferred direction of oscillation is true.
