when a sheet of transparent plastic is placed between two crossed palarizes, no light is transmitted. When the sheet is stretched in one direction, some light passes through the crossed polarizers. What is happening ?

Answer»

Solution :A transparent PLASTIC sheet is NOT a polaroid. As the two polarizers are crossed, no light is transmitted whether the plastic sheet is PLACED between them or not.
But when the plastic sheet is STRETCHED, the polymer molecules in it makes it a polaroidwith its own polaroid axis. This axis will be at certain angle with the axes of two polaroids. Therefore some light WOULD PASS through the crossed polaroids.
