Question

I have attached question 1and I attached the solution as well. What I want to know is how this solution would change if instead the Z AXIS IS POINTING TO THE LEFT AND THE Y AXIS IS COMING OUT OF THE PAGE. Thank you! 1. Quarter wave plates and half wave plates The figures below show a calcite crystal plate located at the coordinate x=0 Calcite a birefringent material whose principal indices of refraction are ne- 1.48641, no-1.65836 The thickness 'd" of the plate in each of the different cases considered below corresponds to either a quarter wave plate ( QWP, 22 (no-n.)d ), or a half wave plate ( HWP, Zim-ne )d-r ). Here ? is the wavelength in vacuum The optical axis is oriented along the Z axis In this question we analyze the different effect the calcite plate has on incident light of different polarizations Incident light is linearly polarized The calcite material is a half wave plate 1A. Case: Calcite. HWP 45° Sketch your answer here

Explanation / Answer

No change will occur, because here the angle is exactly 45 degree. If the angle is slightly higher or lower than 45 degree than the line will shift downward and upward respectively.
