MCQ
Human eye:
  • A
    Can detect polarized light
  • B
    Cannot detect polarization of light
  • C
    Can detect only circularly polarized light
  • D
    Can detect only linearly polarized light

Answer

  1. Cannot detect polarization of light

Explanation:

Polarization changes when plane of vibration of polarized light changes.

Human eye is insensitive to change in polarization and hence, cannot detect polarization of light.
