What is polarization of waves?
polarization of wave means to allow in one particular direction either it may be a horizontal or vertical and block other direction
Define polarization of an electromagnetic wave?
Polarization is the alignment of the transverse vibration in a single direction say in the horizontal direction or vertical direction or any other specific direction. Consider if venetian blinds were letting in light then horizontal light would pass but vertical light would be blocked and the passed light would be horizontally polarized.
Why the spontaneous radiation incoherent?
Because the moment of emission the polarization and the propagation direction , the direction of the wave vector is random. Spontaneous emission causes incoherent radiation.
Longitudinal wave do not exhibit in polarization or diffraction?
Longitudinal waves doesn't exhibit polarization or diffraction; these to features are for transverse waves.
Define fluorescence polarization and anisotropy?
florescence is the visible light observed when electromagnetic radiation bombard a material. anisotropy is a property of showing variations in physical properties of the material along its axes. polarization is the method of directing scattered beams of light in a direction or axis.eirher horizontally or vertically.
Why does the direction of polarization of light compare with the direction of vibration of the electrons that produced it?
the plane of polarization matches the vibrational direction of the electrons
What determines the direction of polarization of a radiated electromagnetic field?
The polarization of an electromagnetic field is defined as the direction of its E field (electrostatic).
Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?
That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.

What is the Difference between plane of polarization and plane of vibration?
A plane including the direction of light propagation and the direction of electric field is called the "plane of vibration". The "plane of polarization" is a confinement of the electric/magnetic field vector to a given plane along the direction of propagation.
Polarization of EM wave?
By convention, that's said to be the direction of the E field.
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.
What is the IEEE definition for circular polarization?
Here is Wikipedias definition:In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization where the tip of the electric field vector, at a fixed point in space, describes a circle as time progresses. If the wave is frozen in time the electric field vectors describe a helix along the direction of propagation. Circular polarization is a limiting case of the more general condition of elliptical polarization.
Why the spontaneous radiation incoherent?
Because the moment of emission the polarization and the propagation direction , the direction of the wave vector is random. Spontaneous emission causes incoherent radiation.
Are longitudinal waves plane polarized?
No. Since longitudinal waves are vibrating in the direction that they are traveling, polarization has no meaning in their case.
How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
