A haze filter, typically an 81A or 81B Wratten-type filter is used to cut down the amount of ultraviolet light entering the camera's optics. You can use this instead of a clear glass filter to protect the front element of your camera lens.
There are two types of polarizing filters - linear and circular. Depending on your type of camera (film versus digital), you may need to use a circular polarizer to be able to see through the lens system. Polarizers cut down the amount of light entering the lens by acting like a set of Venetian blinds and letting light only come in as a single plane.

In photography what does a polarizing filter do?
Un-polarized white light typically vibrates in all directions radially from its axis of travel (think of a bicycle wheel with spokes radiating from the centre; the spokes represent the vibrations or transverse waves, the wheel hub is the direction of the light ray). When this light ray reflects off of a NON-METALLIC surface, the vibrations are cancelled out, except for those that are still reflected because they have the right incidence. Now think of a bunch of wood strips nailed to a pole for climbing. The strips represent the remaining transverse waves, the pole is the ray of light.How the polarizing filter's coating works is a subject too complicated to enter into here. Suffice to say that when we turn it and orient it correctly, it will now "cancel out" most of the remaining transverse waves, which our eyes see as a sort of "haze". Some say it "darkens colours" such as in fall foliage or the sky but this is not accurate. The removal of the haze essentially "purifies" the colours, seemingly enriching them. You can also remove reflections from glass windows or water using this filter. The filter works best/only when your angle of view is equal to the angle of incidence of the reflected light. Thus, pointing it at one scene at one time of day can produce very different results at another time.If you've absorbed this, try a trick question. I told my students that the surface had to be non-metallic, but was initially surprised to see that the filter would remove my reflection from a metal car fender. Why did it? Because the reflection is bouncing off of paint, not metal!It reduces glare because all of the light waves are vibrating in the same direction.A polarizing filter is a handy photography accessory that can be used with both film and digital cameras.The filter is used to reduce or eliminate glare, increase overall saturation, and darken blue skies in photographs.
What does an LPL filter do?
Linear Polarizer Filter (LPL) works on all digital cameras in SLR camera. You can see the effect of this LPL on the LCD screen. Polarizer is used to reduce or remove reflections. It is more effective with telephoto lenses than standard lenses and when used with wide angle lenses the Polarizing effect can be very uneven. Polarizing filters need to be rotated in their mount until, looking through your SLR. The Polarizer can be rotated to determine the amount of reflection to be removed. Linear Polarizer Filter supresses unwanted light reflection such as on the glass and on the water.
What do you call a dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines with moisture in the air?
That wet, dirty haze is called smog. It comes from combining the words smoke and fog.
Ac delco pf48 oil filter cross reference?
FRAM 10060 is the same filter; PUROLATOR also has an equivalent, but I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBER handy right now.
What is the wix cross reference for a Briggs and stratton oil filter 78-23545-0111?
Wix 57035. If there is room, a taller filter is 51348. Briggs number 492932 is the same as well.
What happen when light passes through a polarizing filter?
It is called polarizing chemical change
What happens when light enters polarizing filter?
what happens when light enters a polorizing filter?
What is the light that passes through a polarizing filter?
Polarised light!
How does polarizing filter work?
a polarized filter work as the water is inserting the coldness of the water turns into heat
How do you polarize a beam of light?
Polarizing a beam of light is simply accomplished by passing the light through a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter will permit only light of a given polarization (or polarity) to pass through it. There are several different types of polarization, but they affect similar results. Use the links and check out the pictures.
What is light that passes through a polarizing filter called?
It is called 'polarized light' .
What is light that has passed through a polarizing filter called?
It is called 'polarized light' .
How can two polarizing filters be used to show that has some properties of a wave?
If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.
When light passes through a polarizing filter does it have the properties of a wave or a particle?
it has the properties of a wave (:
What light rays do all the different color polarized lenses block or attenuate?
Polarizing filters are not necessarily color filters. A polarizing filter may also includea color dye, but that's not its purpose.-- All filters attenuate all light rays to some degree.-- A polarizing filter, in principle, attenuates all colors equally, by blocking any lightwhose 'E' field is not parallel to the polarizing direction of the filter, regardless ofwavelength.-- A color filter, in principle, blocks all colors except those in a narrow range of wavelengths.The only wavelength it doesn't block is the color you see coming out of it.
What model explains the behavior of light when light passes through the polarizing filter?

An ideal polarizing filter transmits 50 of the incident non polarized light. Why is this so?
Unpolarized light has electromagnetic waves vibrating in all directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation. A polarizing filter only transmits light that is polarized along the same axis as the filter's axis. (Note that a polarizing filter also partially allows some orientations through that have some component of its axis along the same axis as the filter). The transmitted light thus constitutes half of the incident unpolarized light.Think of it like this: unpolarized light is like a rope vibrating up and down and a rope vibrating side to side. A polarizing filter is like "slots." If the slots are up and down, only up and down vibrations can get through. The other half- the side to side vibrations- are blocked.
