VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2014
Solution:
Some crystals such as tourmaline and sheets of iodosulphate of quinine have the property of strongly absorbing the light with vibrations perpendicular to a specific direction (called transmission axis) transmitting the light with vibration parallel to it. This selective absorption of light is called dichroism.
