[UPSC IFoS 2014] Polarisation and Modern Optics (Q381, 8M)

A left circularly polarized beam (\lambda = 5893^\circ\text{A}) is incident normally on a calcite crystal (with its optic axis cut parallel to the surface) of thickness 0.005141\text{ mm}. What will be the state of polarization of the emergent beam ? Justify your answer. Here the refractive indices for the ordinary and the extraordinary rays are 1.65836 and 1.48641 respectively.
