I think the answer should be b.why it's given as a ?

nolarized light is incident on a combination of a nolarizer, a /2 plate and a /4 plate kept one after the other. What will be the output polarization for the following configurations? Configuration 1: Axes of the polarizer, the /2 plate and the /4 plate are all parallel to each other. Configuration 2: The /2 plate is rotated by 45° with respect to configuration 1. Configuration 3: The n/4 plate is rotated by 45° with respect to configuration 1. (a) Linear for configuration 1, linear for configuration 2, circular for configuration3. 6) Linear for configuration 1, circular for configuration 2, circular for configuration 3. (c) Circular for configuration 1, circular for (d) Circular for configuration 1, linear for configuration Configuration 2, circular for configuration 3 2, Circular for configuration3.

    Bez when half wave plate rotates at 45 degree it adds a phase shift of 180° so the lights changes into horizontally polarised light.. after incident on quarter wave plate at 90° of its pass axis it suffers no phrase shift ... so it will be linear (not circular)
