If light is passed through the following polarizing filter which light waves will be able to pass through?
horizontal waves only
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
Does an opaque material scatter light waves as they pass through it?
Light waves do not pass through opaque materials. Light is absorbed or reflected by opaque things. To be sure there is some scattering, nothing is entirely absorbent.
Bending of light waves when they pass through another substance?
this occurs when an object takes in light waves
What process do light waves pass through window glass?
radition
Is light able to pass through a colloid?
No
Why can radio waves pass through walls but light cannot?
Radio waves are longer on the electromagnetic spectrum and can penetrate objects because they are less dense. Visible light and infrared light are shorter and therefore too dense to pass through objects.
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.
Are all waves compressional waves?
No, compressional waves travel through liquids and gases. Transverse waves pass through solids. You may also be forgetting electromagnetic waves such as light, radio, x-rays, etc that propagate in neither of these ways and can even pass through vacuums.
Is light able to pass through a suspension?
yes
What is it called when no light is able to pass through?
opaque
Which waves allows only light vibrating in certain directions to pass through?
Polarized.
