unpolarized light = light waves vibrate in more than one plane
Polarized light = vibrations of light waves occur in a single plane.
The behavior against polarized light is different.
Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
No, not all light bulbs produce polarized light. The polarization of light depends on the source of light and its characteristics. LED and fluorescent light bulbs can produce polarized light, while incandescent bulbs generally do not produce polarized light.
Monochromatic means that it has only frequency. Polarized is definition for light which has its electric and magnetic vectors oscillating in a certain way (linearly polarized, elliptically and so on) but it might have many frequencies included. In the same time monochromatic light can be polarized.
A quarter wave plate is used to convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light or vice versa by introducing a phase difference of a quarter wavelength between the two orthogonal polarization components. This property is useful in controlling the polarization state of light in various optical systems and applications such as in microscopy, telecommunications, and optical devices.
P-polarized light vibrates parallel to the surface, while s-polarized light vibrates perpendicular to the surface. This difference affects how they interact with surfaces, as p-polarized light is more likely to be reflected, while s-polarized light is more likely to be transmitted or absorbed by the surface.
S polarized light has its electric field oscillating perpendicular to the plane of incidence, while p polarized light has its electric field oscillating parallel to the plane of incidence.
"polarized"
S and p polarized light refer to the orientation of the electric field in a light wave. S polarized light has the electric field perpendicular to the surface it is reflecting off of, while p polarized light has the electric field parallel to the surface. This difference affects how the light interacts with surfaces and materials.
The behavior against polarized light is different.
Unpolarized light is light in which the electric field oscillates in all directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Polarized light, on the other hand, is light in which the electric field oscillates in a specific direction. The main difference between unpolarized and polarized light is the orientation of the electric field vibrations.
Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
Polarized light has more contrast than unpolarized light because it vibrates in a single plane, reducing glare and enhancing clarity. Unpolarized light vibrates in multiple planes, resulting in less distinct contrast.

Such light is said to be polarized.
I assume you mean (+/-)batzelladine D. The signs refer to the direction which each enantiomer rotates plane polarized light.
