3. Elliptically polarized light:
Optic Axes
Along optic axis ordinary ray and extra ordinary rays travel
alongg the Same direction and with same velocityy means
refractive index of ordinary ray and extraordinary ray are same.

Observation: In the absence of Quartz, I=0.
In the presence of quartz, I is not zero.

Note: In quartz,
quartz when optic axis is perpendicular to refracting face then
only we can observe the rotation of PP light other wise it will act just as a
wave plate which produce phase difference in e-ray and o-ray.

Applications:
11. To find the percentage of optically active material present in the solution.

2. The amount of sugar present in blood of a diabetic patient determined by
measuring the angle of rotation of the plane of polarization.

3. In an optically active crystal,
crystal like quartz , two circular components
travel with different speeds so that relative phase difference is
developed between them.

For optically active substances
According to Fresnel the two circular components are propagated through
the plate with different angular speeds. So when they emerges out of the
crystal there is a phase difference between them.
