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 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.
What is Plane light?
A polarized light vibrating in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation is called plane polarised light.
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.
When is a line perpendicular to a plane?
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called what?
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called polarized.
What will be the reason - a plane mirror has an angle of incidence O degree?
The light ray arrives perpendicular to the plane of the mirror.
What is the function of polarimeter?
what is rotation of plane of polarization.
Which phenomenon causes polarization of light?
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.
When light hits a mirror will it bounce off at a different angle?
Yes. A ray of light striking a mirror leaves at a the same angle to the surface as it hits, but as measured from the opposite side of the surface. As measured from the original side, the exit angle is complementary (180 degrees minus the incident angle). For perpendicular rays, the light leaves perpendicularly, back in the direction it came from (180-90=90).
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.
Which plane is Perpendicular to the longitudinal axis?
The transverse plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
