Polarizing filters work by selectively blocking light waves that vibrate in specific orientations while allowing waves in other orientations to pass through. This demonstrates light's wave-like behavior by showing how its vibrations can be controlled and filtered based on polarization direction. The interaction between polarized light and polarizing filters aligns with the wave properties of light, emphasizing its transverse wave nature.
Light is a wave because it exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization. These properties show that light can exhibit wave-like behavior, such as bending around obstacles and combining to create patterns of light and dark.
Two properties that you can show using a ray diagram are reflection, where light bounces off a surface according to the law of reflection, and refraction, where light bends as it passes from one medium to another with different optical densities.
Yes, light exhibits both particle-like and wave-like properties, known as wave-particle duality. This is described by quantum mechanics, where light can behave as both a stream of particles called photons and as a wave that can interfere with itself.
A black light will show fluorescent substances that emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This includes items like highlighters, certain fabrics, some minerals, and bodily fluids (such as urine). It will not reveal all substances, but only those with fluorescent properties.
William Herschel is credited with discovering invisible infrared radiation in 1800. He conducted an experiment using a prism to show that different colored filters were heating up at different rates, proving the existence of light beyond the visible spectrum.
If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.

Anisotropy refers to the light-bending properties of a mineral. Rocks are often examined under a microscope as thing sections, where they are sliced thin enough for light to easily pass through. The thin section is place under a microscope in between two polarizing filters at right angles to each other. Normally, light that passes through the first filter cannot get through the second. However, if it passes through an anisotropic mineral, the light will get twisted so that it can pass through the second filter, and so can be seen under the microscope. By contrast, isotropic minerals do not twist the light, and so show up black.
color filters are filters which show u a color.

No, rubber does not show the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles or particles suspended in a transparent medium, which causes the light to be visible as a beam. Rubber does not have the scattering properties required to exhibit this effect.
