उत्तर

If a dielectric (non-polar) molecule is placed in an external electric field, a small induced dipole moment is created because the positive charge in each atom is pushed in the direction of the field and negative charge is pushed in the opposite direction as shown in the figure.
Polarization is the amount of induced surface charge per unit area or the surface density of polarization charges appearing at right angles to applied external electric field.

To ensure almost 100 per cent transmissivity, photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediated between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). A typically used dielectric film is MgF2 (n = 1.38). What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum (5500 Å) there is maximum transmission.
