Chapter 25.7, Problem 3dTH
Unpolarized red light is incident on two identical, narrow vertical slits. The photograph at right shows the interference pattern that appears on a distant screen.
d. Now imagine that one polarizer is placed in front of each slit: one polarizer with its direction of polarization vertical; the other, horizontal.
Would there still be locations on the screen at which the intensity is zero? Explain why or why not.
