No, crossed polarizers do not cause interference patterns directly. They extinguish transmitted light that is vibrating in planes that are perpendicular to the respective axes of polarization. However, when a transparent anisotropic stressed material (like glass or plastic) is inserted between the crossed polarizers, the light through the first polarizer that enters the material rotates and separates into two waves (one fast and one slow) that are out of phase with each other by 90 degrees along the axes of principal stresses in the material due to the phenomenon of birefringence. This phase difference is known as optical retardation. Because some components of the light waves are no longer perpendicular to the polarization axis of the second polarizer when they reach it (analyzer), they are permitted to pass through. However, the two separate light waves eventually recombine and cause interference fringes (colors) to appear, specific to the degree of optical retardation exhibited by the material. This retardation is directly proportional to stress and can be used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of residual and dynamic stresses.

How two coherent sources are realized in fresnel biprism?
In a Fresnel biprism setup, two coherent sources are realized by using a single source that is split into two coherent beams by the biprism. The two beams then interfere with each other to create an interference pattern. This interference pattern contains information about the phase difference between the two beams, allowing for interference effects to be observed.
Light that has passed through a polarizing filter is called?
polarized light
Could radar beam be circularly polarized?
Yes, radar beams can be circularly polarized by controlling the phase relationship between the electric and magnetic fields of the wave. Circular polarization helps mitigate the effects of signal fading and interference, making it beneficial in radar applications for improved target detection and tracking.
What is light that has passed through a polarizing filter called?
It is called 'polarized light' .
Transverse waves that vibrate in one direction only are called....?
Polarized waves.
What to do when voltmeter gives negative reading?
Cross the beams.
Must polarized lens be with some colors on it?
No, polarized lenses are colorless (unless ordered with tinting). However most eyeglass lenses (polarized or not) have an antireflective coating on them, which looks colored due to diffraction effects. This antireflective coating actually is also colorless but is very thin and diffraction causes some colors to interfere constructively (making them visible) and other colors to interfere destructively (making them vanish) giving the appearance of having color.
How do you build a Cross?
Take two beams of wood and nail them together
How did a Greek architect keep a roof up?
With columns and cross-beams.
How do you say cross in German?
The cross - das KreuzI'm cross - Ich bin sauercross the road - die Straße überquerencross beams - Querstreben
What is coffered slab?
A ceiling in which the beams and cross-beams leave a regular pattern of square or multi-sided sunken panels, or coffers, each of which is often decorated with molded, carved and painted decoration. Colonnade .
What difficulties Gustave Eiffel face?
he didnt know how to create the cross beams
What difficulties did Gustave Eiffel face?

What does the french word rayons mean in English?
Rayons has several meanings in French.Meaning 1: rays or beams (such as rays or beams of light)Meaning 2: radii (the plural of radius)Meaning 3: we cross out or we delete (rayer = to cross out or delete, nous rayons = we cross out or delete)
What is coffers?
A coffer slab is a sunken ceiling panel. They are often decorated with moldings, carvings, or paint. The coffers are usually set between the beams and cross-beams.
Can light refract if it hits another strong beam of light?
No!! Light beams of photons do not interfere with one another except in crystals as phonons.
How do you control PN-junction?
When a pn junction is direct polarized, the height of the depletion layer is reduced and majority charge carriers now have sufficient energy to cross the junction and when it is revers polarized the height of the depletion layer is increased and the number of majority charge with sufficient energy to cross the junction is cut sharply.
