At complete reflection refracted ray and reflected ray are perpendicular.
In a Young's double slit experiment, three polarizers are kept as shown in the figure. The transmission axes of and are orthogonal to each other. The polarizer covers both the slits with its transmission axis at 45° to those of and . An unpolarized light of wavelength and intensity is incident on and . The intensity at a point after where the path difference between the light waves from and is , is [2025]

Two polarisers and are placed in such a way that the intensity of the transmitted light will be zero. A third polariser is inserted in between and , at the particular angle between and . The transmitted intensity of the light passing through all three polarisers is maximum. The angle between the polarisers and is: [2025]
