(N/A) The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors parallel to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(a)$.
The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors perpendicular to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(b)$.
Unpolarised light signals are shown in two ways in figure $(c)$,where $(i)$ represents the light propagating along the axis with vibrations in all directions in the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation,and $(ii)$ shows the combination of vertical and horizontal components.
The signal for partially polarised light is shown in figure $(d)$,which indicates an unequal distribution of vibrations in different directions.

Choose the $CORRECT$ option for electric field components of unpolarized light passing through a polarizing sheet.

In the visible region of the spectrum,the rotation of the plane of polarization is given by $\theta = a + \frac{b}{\lambda^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be $30^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $50^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$. The value of constant $a$ will be:
