Question

What is a plane polarized light?

Answer 1

The explanation for the plane polarized wave

1. Polarization is property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.
2. The light wave has vibrations that occur only in one plane and is called a plane polarized wave.
3. Plane polarized light consists of waves having vibration in the same direction for all waves.
4. Light is an electromagnetic wave. It contains an electric and magnetic field.
5. The electric field vectors are limited to single plane, then light is referred to plane or linearly polarized.
6. Polarization is used in sunglasses to reduce the glare.
