a) all directions- it will remain unpolarized since polarization only affects the electric field

b) horizontally- transmitted light will be horizontally polarized

c) vertically- transmitted light will be horizontally polarized

d) horizontally- transmitted light will be vertically polarized

e) vertically- transmitted light will be vertically polarized

Explanation / Answer

d) horizontally- transmitted light will be vertically polarized
