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.

Lorentz transformation

Lorentz transformation and its inverse : Define an event to have spacetime coordinates ( t , x , y , z ) in system S and ( t ′, x ′, y ′, z ′) in a reference frame moving at a velocity v with respect to that frame, S ′. Then the Lorentz transformation specifies that these coordinates are related in the following way: {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}t'&=\gamma \ (t-vx/c^{2})\\x'&=\gamma \ (x-vt)\\y'&=y\\z'&=z,\end{aligned}}} where {\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {1-{\frac {v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}}}} is the Lorentz factor and c is the speed of light in vacuum, and the velocity v of S ′, relative to S , is parallel to the x -axis. For simplicity, the y and z coordinates are unaffected; only the x and t coordinates are transformed. These Lorentz transformations form a one-param...

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...

Copernicus and the Arrangement of the Planets

In the years after 1500, Copernicus came to realize that a heliocentric model has several advantages beyond providing a natural explanation of retrograde motion. In the Ptolemaic system, the arrangement of the planets—that is, which are close to the Earth and which are far away—was chosen in large part by guesswork. But using a heliocentric model, Copernicus could determine the arrangement of the planets without ambiguity. Copernicus realized that because Mercury and Venus are always observed fairly near the Sun in the sky, their orbits must be smaller than the Earth’s. Planets in such orbits are called inferior planets. The other visible planets—Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—are sometimes seen on the side of the celestial sphere opposite the Sun, so these planets appear high above the horizon at midnight (when the Sun is far below the horizon). When this happens, the Earth must lie between the Sun and these planets. Copernicus therefore conclude...
