Discuss about pile of plates.

उत्तर
- The phenomenon of polarisation by reflection is used in the construction of pile of plates.
- It consists of a number of glass plates placed one over the other in a tube
- The plates are inclined at an angle of 33.7°(90° – 56.3°) to the axis of the tube. A beam of unpolarised light is allowed to fall on the pile of plates along the axis of the tube. So, the angle of incidence of light will be at 56.3° which is the polarising angle for glass.
Pile of plates - The vibrations perpendicular to the plane of incidence are reflected at each surface and those parallel to it are transmitted.
- The larger the number of surfaces, the greater is the intensity of the reflected plane polarised light.
- The pile of plates is used as a polarizer and also as an analyser.

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.
