Question

what is the difference between polariser and analyser?

Jyoti Pant · Accepted Answer

There is no difference between polariser and analyser,they are
given different name due to their different roles in optics These
are filters which allow certain directions of light wave to pass
through the filters The polariser allows only that component of
light which is perpendicular to the plane of specimen whereas the
analyser allows the component which is parallel to the plane of
specimen
