Question: ( 2 0 points ) An unpolarized white light illuminates a linear polarizer ( 4 5 ) , a birefringence crystal and then a linear

(20 points) An unpolarized white light illuminates a linear polarizer (45), a birefringence crystal and then a linear polarizer (-45). Assume that we have a birefringent crystal that can be controlled optically. Its positioned at a 45 angle between two crossed polarizers. The geometrical path length through the crystal is 5.00 mm . What value the birefringence (|ne-no|) makes the transmitted light appear:
a. Yellow (600nm)
b. Blue )
( 2 0 points ) An unpolarized white light
