Sample Question 2
What happens when two polarizing filters are placed so that their axes of polarization are perpendicular to each other?

Transmitted light is slightly weaker

There is no transmitted light

Transmitted light is polarized

Transmitted light oscillates in all directions

Sample Question 3
Brewster's Angle is when

Reflected light is completely plane polarized

Reflected light is partially polarized

No light is reflected

Angle between incident and reflected light is 90 degrees
