the transmitted light may show fluctuations, but it does notvanish completely for any position of the analyzer. The lastfact shows that the action of the crystal slip is not to rotatethe plane of polarization, but either to depolarize the light orto change it to a new kind of polarization which… … Figure 119 to a new kind of polarization, known as elliptic polarization,which can be explained by reference to figure 119. Let OArepresent in direction and lengththe amplitude of the light which thepolarizer transmits. Then, since theNieols are crossed, XY is the direc-tion of vibrations which…
