Q. In the propagation of light waves, the angle between the direction of vibration and plane of polarization is
A) $0{^\circ}$
B) $90{^\circ}$
C) $45{^\circ}$
D) $80{^\circ}$
Explanation
(a) Plane containing the direction of vibration and wave motion is called plane of polarization. Plane of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and also perpendicular to the plane of polarization. Therefore, angle between plane of polarization and direction of propagation is $0{^\circ}.$
