When light passes through a polarized filter does it have the properties of a wave or a particle?
it has the properties of a wave (:
What model of light does the polarization of light support Explain?
The wave model. More specifically, it shows that light is a transverse wave - a longitudonal wave can't be polarized.
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.
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.
What type of wave does sound travel on and how is this different to the wave light travels on?
Sound wave is a mechanical wave. It means that, for propagation, it badly needs a material medium. But, light waves are not mechanical waves. They are electromagnetic waves. It does not need a material medium. It can pass even through vacuum. Sound wave is longitudinal in nature where as light waves are transverse in nature. Being transverse, light can be polarized. But, sound waves being longitudinal cannot be polarized.
What are the conditions required to produce circularly polarised light?
Linearly polarized light passed through a quarter-wave plate at a 45 degree angle to the optic axis becomes circularly polarized
Can sound waves be polarized like electromagnetic waves can?
For polarization the direction of the oscillation has to be perpendicular to the direction of travel. In sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, this isn't the case and thereby can not be polarized.
For an elliptically polarized wave incident on the interface of a dielectric at the Brewster angle then the reflected wave will be?
linearly polarized
What is light passed through a polarized filter?
Such light is said to be polarized.
Do all light bulbs produce polarized light?
No. Light bulbs produce non-polarized light.
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.
How can two polarized filters be used to show that light has some properties of a wave?
If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.
