Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
Explain how polarized light is different from non-polarized light.?
In polarized light, the plane of the electrical (and magnetic) oscillations is the same for all photons (particles of light). For example, if the light is traveling away from you, all photons might have electrical oscillations that go up and down.
What is plane polarized of light?
That's the simplest kind of polarization, and it simply means that all pieces of light - all photons - have the same orientation in space. For example, if the light shines horizontally, the light can be vertically polarized, or it may be horizontally polarized. Or at some other angle in between.
What are polarized LEDs?
direction of oscillation of electric field relative to direction of motion:verticalhorizontalcircular clockwisecircular counterclockwiseany combination of above
What is the Difference between polarized light and ordinary light?
unpolarized light = light waves vibrate in more than one plane Polarized light = vibrations of light waves occur in a single plane.
Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.

What is it when all light waves vibrate in the same plane?
It's polarized light
Does Polarized light occurs when light waves vibrate in all directions?
Yes
Polarized sunglasses work by?
When light reflects off flat surfaces, such as pavement or water, it becomes polarized. This means that instead of scattering in all directions, it travels horizontally. Humans experience polarized light as glare. Polarized sunglasses block polarized light with vertical filters that prevent horizontal light from passing through. Only light traveling vertically can pass through the vertical filter.
What light passes through horizontal polarizer?
Light that is polarized to be horizontal passes through horizontal polarizers. This separates it from the other directions of light, since normal white is not polarized and is in all directions.
How is light connected to heat?
Because, if it wasn't for heat, there would be no light at all. The sun is blazing hot and gives off light. Our light bulbs require heat to produce light. Many other things.
Ordinary light waves vibrate in all directions light that vibrates only in a specific plane is said to be?
"polarized"

I have a 120V bulb and want to replace it with a compact fluorescent bulb. Is there an equivalent?
You need to look at the bulbs' light-output equivalents rather than voltages. Neither voltage nor wattage is a measure of light output; nearly all household bulbs in North America operate on 120 volts regardless of how much light they produce, and different types of bulbs produce different amounts of light despite having the same wattage rating. Both incandescent and CFL bulbs should be marked with their light output, usually in lumens. Try to pick a CFL whose light output is as close as possible to the incandescent bulb you're replacing.
Light waves usually vibrate in all directions but what allows only light vibrating in a certain direction to pass through?
polarized light
