Light that is polarized to be horizontal passes through horizontal polarizers. This separates it from the other directions of light, since normal white is not polarized and is in all directions.

What happens to light that passes through a horizontal polarizing filter?
It blocks the waves vibrating on a vertical plane
What does polarizer do to unpolarized light?
A polarizer filters unpolarized light by allowing only light waves oscillating in a specific plane to pass through, while blocking light waves oscillating in other planes. It aligns the electric field vectors of the light waves, resulting in linearly polarized light.
Light is scattered as it passes through a?
Light is scattered as it passes through a prism.
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Opaque - light does not pass through. Transparent - all light passes through. Translucent - some light passes through.
A material through which nearly all light passes is?
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
After randomly polarized light passes through a polarizer it is?
Totally polarized.

What is a polarizer?
To begin, the correct term is "crossed" polarizer, not cross. The way that a crossed polarizer works is that it contains two polarizers, the first selects a plane of polarized light from an unpolarized light source (containing many oscillations, or planes). The second polarizer than absorbs that plane of polarized light that made it past the first, as it selects a plane of polarized light that is not the one let through the first.

What happened to light that is both vertically and hrizontally filtered?
If light passes first thorugh a vertical polarization filter, then through a horizontal polarization filter, hardly any light would get through at all.
Light is scattered as it passes through a?
Light is scattered as it passes through a prism.
How can light passes through?
light passes in straight line
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Opaque - light does not pass through. Transparent - all light passes through. Translucent - some light passes through.
Light that passes through an object is called?
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?
the speed of light, commonly denoted as "c", is constant no matter which medium it passes through.
A material through which nearly all light passes is?
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
