The light from our sun radiates out in all direction as the sun is ball-shaped. The part of light that strikes the earth, forming daylight, is spread over a wide area of the earth that happens to be facing towards the sun at the time. This means that light doesn't travel in a single direction. A laser beam is an example of a concentrated beam of light travelling in a single direction.

Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?

That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.


Do laser beams only travel in one direction?

yes. laser beams are just like light.


What is light that vibrates only in one direction?

Polarized light is a type of light in which the electromagnetic waves vibrate in a single plane. This means that all the waves are oriented in the same direction, leading to a specific polarization state.

How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.


What is the purpose of a linear polarizer film and how does it affect the transmission of light?

A linear polarizer film is used to filter and control the direction of light waves. It works by allowing only light waves that are aligned in a specific direction to pass through, while blocking light waves that are oriented differently. This results in the transmission of light that is polarized in a single direction, which can reduce glare, improve visibility, and enhance contrast in images.
