[UPSC CSE 2011] Polarisation and Modern Optics (Q398, 15M)
For calcite, the refractive indices of ordinary and extraordinary rays are 1.65836 and 1.48641 at \lambda_0=5893\,\mathring{\mathrm{A}} respectively. A left circularly polarized beam of this wavelength is incident normally on such crystal of thickness 0.005141\,\mathrm{mm} having its optic axis cut parallel to the surface. What will be the state of polarization of the emergent beam?
