Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s). A tourmaline crystal is placed such that its crystallographic axis AB is parallel to y-axis. Sunlight is made to pass through it. After the emergence of light from the tourmaline crystal, certain properties of the light are affected. |
The vibrations of the emergent light is parallel to which axis? |
x-axis y-axis z-axis zx plane |
y-axis |
Since the crystallographic axis AB of the crystal is parallel to the y- axis, the vibrations will be restricted to the y-axis. |
