Question
Choose all that are correct about birefringent material.
A. A birefringent material can split an incident unpolarized light beam into two separate linearly polarized beams.
B. Glass, which is optically isotropic, can be made to be birefringent by stressing or bending it.
C. By cutting a birefringent crystal so that the e-ray is totaly reflected at the exit face, one can produce light that is 50% linearly polarized.
D. Birefringent materials have an optically favored direction, and the index of refraction depends on the relative orientation of the plane of polarization to that preferred direction.
