All of the following are different applications of polarised sunglasses in our daily life EXCEP to
Correct answer: D. Locate atoms on the surface of a heated filament.
- A. Spot fishes in the water.
- B. Protect eyes from ultraviolet rays.
- C. Reduce the glare of headlights of cars.
- D. Locate atoms on the surface of a heated filament.
Explanation
Polarised sunglasses are designed to reduce glare from surfaces like water, glass, and roads, which helps in activities such as spotting fish in water and reducing glare from headlights. They also often include UV protection to shield eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. However, they do not possess the ability to locate atoms on the surface of a heated filament, which is a task unrelated to their primary applications, making option D the correct choice.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
