In what direction is the polarization of the glare that reflects from a horizontal surface?
It is polarized at 90 degrees to the plane of incidence. If the surface is horizontal, the plane of incidence is vertical & the polarization would be horizontal.

You can reduce the glare from the road by wearing sunglasses that permit only the passage of light that is polarized in a vertical plane. Polarized lenses, if correctly positioned, can block all reflected light from horizontal surfaces such as roads. Non-polarized sunglasses simply reduce the amount of light passing through, but some glare from reflected light remains.
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.

polarized in a vertical plane.
What does Polarized light vibrates in?
For plane polarized light the electric vector of the light ray is allowed to vibrate in a single plane, producing a simple sine wave with a vibration direction lying in the plane of polarization - this is termed plane light or plane polarized light.
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called what?
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called polarized.
What is the advantage of polarised sunglass lenses?
Polaroid lenses filter out light in a single plane - this includes light which has been reflected off glass and water (you can see this effect with a polarising filter on a camera). This means that they effectively remove the glare you would normally get from, for example, the ocean, without resorting to really dark lenses.This makes polarised sunglasses with lighter tints ideal for sports and driving, removing the glare without compromising overall visibility.Polarized lenses are made to neutralize the effect of glare. A 'glare' is caused when the sun's shining rays reflect off a solid surface or water. A 'glare' is typically horizontally polarized. And the lenses are made of vertical polarizers - so Voila! - They effectively neutralize the villainous glare! Advantages of Polarized Sunglasses: Polarized sunglasses are specially made for reducing the harmful effects of glare and eye-damaging light. And they are a perfect boon, for all your outdoor activities.
S and p polarized em wave?
P polarized waves have electric field the plane of incedence while S polarized waves have electric field which is perpendicular to the plane of incidence
How can you obtain circularly polarized light from linearly polarized light?
Circularly polarized light is obtained by adding two plane polarized lights of same intensity that are orthogonal but with a phase difference of 90 degrees.
Would you expect a solution of a meso compound to rotate plane polarized light?
The meso compound, although it has sterogenic centers, is achiral. For this reason, it will not rotate plane polarized light.
Does plane polarization occur in a transverse waves?
Transverse waves can be plane-polarized; longitudinal waves can not be.
