Elliptically Polarized Light

When light is passed through a polarizer, it gets polarized according to the properties of the polarizer.

Considering an extremely Efficient polarizer, The light that emerges out is said to be plane polarized light. The vibration of electric and magnetic vectors is confined to one plane.

When Two Such Plane Polarized Lights Waves, Having Unequal Magnitude And Moving Perpendicular To Each Other, Interfere, They Result Into An Elliptically Polarized Light.

The equation of resultant wave represents that of ellipse.

$\mathbf{E} ( \mathbf{r} , t ) = \mid \mathbf{E} \mid \mathrm{Re} \left \{ |\psi\rangle \exp \left [ i \left ( kz-\omega t \right ) \right ] \right \}$

$\mathbf{B} ( \mathbf{r} , t ) = \hat { \mathbf{z} } \times \mathbf{E} ( \mathbf{r} , t )$

A=|\mathbf {E} |{\sqrt {\frac {1+{\sqrt {1-\sin ^{2}(2\theta )\sin ^{2}\beta }}}{2}}}

B=|\mathbf {E} |{\sqrt {\frac {1-{\sqrt {1-\sin ^{2}(2\theta )\sin ^{2}\beta }}}{2}}}

जेव्हा प्रकाश ध्रुवीकरणातून जातो तेव्हा ध्रुवीकरणाच्या गुणधर्मानुसार त्याचे ध्रुवीकरण होते.

अत्यंत कार्यक्षम ध्रुवीकरण करणारा विचार केल्यास बाहेर पडणारा प्रकाश हा विमानाचे ध्रुवीकरण करणारा प्रकाश आहे असे म्हटले जाते. विद्युत आणि चुंबकीय सदिशांचे स्पंदन एका विमानापुरते मर्यादित असते.

अशा दोन किरणांच्या ध्रुवीकरणझालेल्या प्रकाशलहरी, असमान तीव्रता आणि एकमेकांकडे वळणारे , हस्तक्षेप करतात तेव्हा ते एका एलिप्स ध्रुवीकरणकेलेल्या प्रकाशात रूपांतरित होतात.

The Ptolemaic System

Explaining the nonuniform motions of the five planets was one of the main challenges facing the astronomers of antiquity. The Greeks developed many theories to account for retrograde motion and the loops that the planets trace out against the background stars. One of the most successful and enduring models was originated by Apollonius of Perga and by Hipparchus in the second century B.C. and expanded upon by Ptolemy, the last of the great Greek astronomers, during the second century A.D. sketches the basic concept, usually called the Ptolemaic system. Each planet is assumed to move in a small circle called an epicycle, whose center in turn moves in a larger circle, called a deferent, which is centered approximately on the Earth. Both the epicycle and deferent rotate in the same direction As viewed from Earth, the epicycle moves eastward along the deferent. Most of the time the eastward motion of the planet on its epicycle adds to th...

Effects Of Change In Interest Rates.

When interest rates change , there are real-world effects on the ways that consumers and businesses can access credit to make necessary purchases and plan their finances. Here are some reasons for change in interest rates:- Central banks cut interest rates when the economy slows down in order to re-invigorate economic activity and growth. The goal is to reduce the cost of borrowing so that people and companies are more willing to invest and spend. Interest rate changes spill over to many facets of the economy, including mortgage rates and home sales, consumer credit and consumption, and stock market movements. Impact of a Fed Interest Rate Change: Savings: In theory, that should boost savings among consumers and businesses as they can generate a higher return on their savings. On the other hand, the effect may be that anyone with a debt burden would instead seek to pay off their financial obligations to offset the higher variable rates tied to credit cards, home loans, or other debt i...

What is Solidity programming language?

Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts. Smart contracts are programs which govern the behaviour of accounts within the Ethereum state. Solidity was influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript and is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex user-defined types among other features. With Solidity you can create contracts for uses such as voting, crowdfunding, blind auctions, a...
