Question

An analyzer is rotated about an incident ray. The intensity of light is found to increase and decrease, but it does not become zero at any point. The incident light is:
a.partially polarized
b.plane-polarized
c.polarized in two planes
d.unpolarized
They probably expect answer (a), but it could also be (c).
