[KCET 2001]
Options:
A) Both O-ray and E-ray are polarised perpendicular to the plane of incidence
B) Both O-ray and E-ray are polarised in the plane of incidence
C) E-ray is polarised perpendicular to the plane of incidence and O-ray in the plane of incidence
D) E-ray is polarised in the plane of incidence and O-ray perpendicular to the plane of incidence
Show Answer
Answer:
