What happen when light passes through a polarizing filter?

It is called polarizing chemical change


Why do Fisherman wear polarizing sunglasses?

Fishermen wear polarizing sunglasses so they can negate the effect of the suns glare on the surface of the water in order to sight fish. This is a benefit when fishing on a lake or river and the glare on the water is preventing you from seeing the fish in the water.

What is the light that passes through a polarizing filter?

Polarised light!


Which phenomenon causes polarization of light?

Light is usually unpolarized, it becomes polarized when it passes through a polarizing filter. Light can be polarized because it travels as a transverse wave (of oscillating electric and magnetic fields) orthogonally to the direction of the medium in all directions, and polarizing filters polarize light in one plane. Polarized filters in the vertical plane only allow light in the vertical plane to pass through. Ex. polarized sunglasses have a polarizing filter in the vertical plane in order to minimize glare which is polarized light in the horizontal plane. and yes polarizing filters can be rotated to polarize light in other planes as well.


How does polarizing filter work?

a polarized filter work as the water is inserting the coldness of the water turns into heat


How do you polarize a beam of light?

Polarizing a beam of light is simply accomplished by passing the light through a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter will permit only light of a given polarization (or polarity) to pass through it. There are several different types of polarization, but they affect similar results. Use the links and check out the pictures.

How can two polarizing filters be used to show that has some properties of a wave?

If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.


In photography what does a polarizing filter do?

Un-polarized white light typically vibrates in all directions radially from its axis of travel (think of a bicycle wheel with spokes radiating from the centre; the spokes represent the vibrations or transverse waves, the wheel hub is the direction of the light ray). When this light ray reflects off of a NON-METALLIC surface, the vibrations are cancelled out, except for those that are still reflected because they have the right incidence. Now think of a bunch of wood strips nailed to a pole for climbing. The strips represent the remaining transverse waves, the pole is the ray of light.How the polarizing filter's coating works is a subject too complicated to enter into here. Suffice to say that when we turn it and orient it correctly, it will now "cancel out" most of the remaining transverse waves, which our eyes see as a sort of "haze". Some say it "darkens colours" such as in fall foliage or the sky but this is not accurate. The removal of the haze essentially "purifies" the colours, seemingly enriching them. You can also remove reflections from glass windows or water using this filter. The filter works best/only when your angle of view is equal to the angle of incidence of the reflected light. Thus, pointing it at one scene at one time of day can produce very different results at another time.If you've absorbed this, try a trick question. I told my students that the surface had to be non-metallic, but was initially surprised to see that the filter would remove my reflection from a metal car fender. Why did it? Because the reflection is bouncing off of paint, not metal!It reduces glare because all of the light waves are vibrating in the same direction.A polarizing filter is a handy photography accessory that can be used with both film and digital cameras.The filter is used to reduce or eliminate glare, increase overall saturation, and darken blue skies in photographs.
