Question

What is the difference between polarized light and unpolarized light?

Answer 1

Differences between polarized light and unpolarized light are given below:

Polarized light	Unpolarized light
1.In polarized light the electric field oscillates in one direction only.	It has an electric field that oscillates in every direction.
2.Polarized light is naturally coherent.	In nature, unpolarized light is incoherent.
3.The intensity of the polarized light is determined by the type of light used.	The intensity of unpolarized light is determined by the source.
