Question

What is the plane of vibration?

Options

• The plane in which the electric field vector \[\vec{E}\] vibrates or oscillates

• The plane perpendicular to the plane in which \[\vec{E}\] oscillates

• The plane containing only the pass-axis of an analyser

• The plane in which the transmitted intensity becomes zero

Answer 1

The plane of vibration is defined by the oscillation of the electric field vector \[\vec{E}\]. It is the plane in which that vector vibrates.
