A beam of linearly polarized light is changed into circularly polarized light by passing it through a slice of crystal 0.003 cm thick. Calculate the difference in the refractive indices for the two rays in the crystal, assuming this to be the minimum thickness showing the effect for a wavelength of 600 nm. Sketch the arrangement, showing the OA of the crystal, and explain why this occurs.
