The pass-axis of a polaroid is oriented how relative to its aligned molecules?
AParallel to them
BAt 45° to them
CAlong the sheet edge
DPerpendicular to them
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Perpendicular to them
Electric vectors along the aligned molecules are absorbed, so the transmitted vector is perpendicular to them.
