Best Answer

Polaroid filters in cameras and glasses; strain analysis (to measure the stress in objects such as seeing where the most stress occurs in a hip bone) and polarised radio waves are used for television transmission.

What is cross polarization isolation?

Cross polarisation isolation or Cross Polarisation Discrinimation (XPD) is the difference in dB of received signal level (RSL) at the receiver when in turn, the transmitter has the same and different polarisation with the receiver. A antenna with this greater value is prefered. This information is useful in microwace design when in the same area we can use the same frequency with different polarisation . For example: TX1 : vertical polarisation ---> RX1 : Vertical pol. TX2 : horizontal pol. ---> RX2 : horizontal pol. They all operate in the same frequency. The signal from TX1 , TX2 will be separated corresponding to the value of XPD.


Why are longitudinal wave not polarized?

Polarisation is specially related to limiting the vibrations in only one direction or a plane. This is possible in case of transverse waves. But in case of longitudinal only one direction of propagation ie to and fro is possible. So no chance of having the phenomenon of polarisation with longitudinal waves.

What is the angle of polarisation for a ordinary glass and water?

As per Brewster's law, the angle of polarisation or polarising angle is got by the expression tan ip = mu. So for water mu = 1.33 and its polarizing angle = 53 deg 3 min For glass mu would vary for different glass such as flint etc.
