what happens when light enters a polorizing filter?
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.
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.
If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.
