AIIMS 2018 Physics Polarization MCQ Question
Light is incident on a polarizer with intensity . A second prism called analyzer is kept at an angle of from the first polarizer, then the intensity of final emergent light will be:
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because it accurately represents the molecular structure of water (H₂O), which consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom, forming a bent geometry due to the presence of lone pairs on the oxygen atom.
In contrast, option B may depict a linear arrangement, which is incorrect for H₂O, while options C and D could represent other compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) or ammonia (NH₃), which do not match the characteristics of water. Understanding the molecular geometry and bonding in H₂O is crucial for grasping its unique properties, such as its high surface tension and solvent capabilities.
