A photodetector measures the intensity of light from two different sources, S1S_1S1 and S2S_2S2.
A polarising filter is placed between source S1S_1S1 and the detector. When the filter is rotated through a small angle, the detected intensity of light from S1S_1S1 decreases.
When the same filter is placed between source S2S_2S2 and the detector and rotated through any angle, the detected intensity remains constant.
Which row in the table correctly identifies the polarization state of the light waves from S1S_1S1 and S2S_2S2?
Light waves from S1S_1S1: polarised | Light waves from S2S_2S2: unpolarised
Light waves from S1S_1S1: unpolarised | Light waves from S2S_2S2: polarised
Light waves from S1S_1S1: polarised | Light waves from S2S_2S2: polarised
Light waves from S1S_1S1: unpolarised | Light waves from S2S_2S2: unpolarised
