No, a transparent crystal does not have a polarizing angle. The concept of a polarizing angle applies to polarized light passing through a medium, not the medium itself. The polarizing angle is the angle at which light is completely plane-polarized when passing through a medium.

What is the relation between polarizing angle and critical angle?

The polarizing angle is the angle at which light is completely polarized when it reflects off a surface. The critical angle is the angle at which light is refracted along the surface when entering a different medium. These angles are related in that the polarizing angle can be calculated using the critical angle and the refractive indices of the two media involved.


What happens to light when it hits transparent or opaque liquid crystal in a digital watch?

When light hits a transparent liquid crystal in a digital watch, it either passes through or gets reflected, depending on the electrical current applied to the crystal. Opaque liquid crystals block the light, preventing it from passing through. The manipulation of light by liquid crystals allows for the display of information in digital watches.


What model explains the behavior of light passes through a polarizing filter?

Malus's Law explains the behavior of light passing through a polarizing filter. It states that the intensity of light transmitted through the filter is proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the filter's transmission axis and the light's polarization direction.


What is a triangular shaped transparent object that refracts light as it passes through it?

A prism. It can be made of glass, crystal, or other hard clear material.


Do transparent objects absorb most of the light that strikes them?

No, transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. Instead of absorbing light, transparent objects transmit, reflect, or refract light, depending on their properties and the angle of incidence of the incoming light.

Many gemstones are polished so much that you can no longer detect a crystal shape what could you do to a gemstone to determine its crystal shape?

You can examine a gemstone's crystal shape by using a polarizing microscope or conducting X-ray crystallography. These methods allow you to view the internal structure of the gemstone to determine its crystal shape accurately.

What solid does light go through?

crystal translucent or transparent solids.


What mineral property is determined by the number and angle of crystal faces?

I believe the answer would be the crystal system, but the crystal system is based on the angles and length of the axis of the crystal. The axis length and the angle at which they meet would affact the number and angle of the crystal faces.


How does an LCD television work?

Each pixel consists of a column of liquid crystal molecules suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of polarity of which are perpendicular to each other. Without the liquid crystals between them, light passing through one would be blocked by the other. The liquid crystal twists the polarization of light entering one filter to allow it to pass through the other. The molecules of the liquid crystal have electric charges on them. By applying small electrical charges to transparent electrodes over each pixel or sub-pixel, the molecules are twisted by electrostatic forces. This changes the twist of the light passing through the molecules, and allows varying degrees of light to pass (or not pass) through the polarizing filters. Before applying an electrical charge, the liquid crystal molecules are in a relaxed state. Charges on the molecules cause these molecules to align themselves in a helical structure, or twist (the "crystal"). In some LCDs, the electrode may have a chemical surface that seeds the crystal, so it crystallizes at the needed angle. Light passing through one filter is rotated as it passes through the liquid crystal, allowing it to pass through the second polarized filter. A small amount of light is absorbed by the polarizing filters, but otherwise the entire assembly is transparent. When an electrical charge is applied to the electrodes, the molecules of the liquid crystal align themselves parallel to the electric field, thus limiting the rotation of entering light. If the liquid crystals are completely untwisted, light passing through them will be polarized perpendicular to the second filter, and thus be completely blocked. The pixel will appear unlit. By controlling the twist of the liquid crystals in each pixel, light can be allowed to pass though in varying amounts, correspondingly illuminating the pixel. -DJ Craig
