What is polarised sunglasses?

To understand the difference between polarised sunglasses and standard dark lenses, imagine two windows. One window has a dark tint and one has horizontal blinds. The window with the dark tint will filter out the sunlight, but visibility is reduced and there is still a glare. The window with the blinds permits perfect visibility minus the glare. This is essentially how polarised sunglasses work. They are designed with a special film that filters out light that enters at certain angles but still allows light necessary for proper vision to penetrate. Because they are designed to refract light instead of being dependent on tint, damage from harmful ultraviolet rays is also minimized.

Why polaroid sunglasses are better then ordinary sunglasses?

polarizing sunglasses have a specific grating on them that is usually vertical llllllllllll lllllllllllllll

light can have various polarizations ... (this is the direction that the E and M fields go up and down) .... when something get's reflected ... say off of water It only is polarized horizontally ------- (that way if you like) ... since this light is polarized in the opposite direction as to the grating it cannot transmit ..... hence the glare off of objects is eliminated when you use polarizing lenses

the intensity transmitted is

I = I0 * cos^2(\theta) ... where theta is the angle between the lense grating and the light .... in this case it is 90 degrees

so cos(90) = 0 and no light is transmitted

for ordinary sunglasses .... the transmitted reduction is just uniform and effects like glare are not reduced any more or less than the direct sunlight

Sparano had a scare as a teenager that could have prevented him from becoming a coach.

How you replace an Oakley Radar earsocks?

!

I just finished 're-socking' my Oakley C-wire sunglasses last night, so I can offer some insight.

I began by removing my old socks, wiping off the residue that remained with a dry paper towel, and then cleaning the entire earpiece area well with glass cleaner. Then I began to attempt to slide the new earsock on. It was so difficult that I was afraid that I was going to bend my frames, so I had to remove the sock and start over.

An important first step is to put a small dab of water-based lubricant on the very tip of the earpiece, where the sock will be started. (You can prolly also use petroleum-based jelly, but I don't know if this might possibly damage the sock, over time.) Don't use much, only a bit is required!

Now start the sock onto the earpiece, pushing it on in the correct alignment. If it starts to 'slow down' on you, simply use your finger to move a bit of the 'bead' of lube out in front of the sock onto the remaining, uncovered earpiece. If the sock begins to get out of alignment or twist at the rear portion, back at the end of the earpiece, realign it correctly and continue.

Once you have gotten the sock to the correct location at the front of the earpiece (towards the hinge and lens), you may find that it tries to 'retract' itself backwards towards the end of the earpiece. This simply means that you haven't yet advanced enough of the back portion of the sock onto the earpiece: in other words, it is in a 'stretched' condition. Just push a bit more of it onto the earpiece from the back of the sock until it stops trying to pull itself back. Then, again, ensure correct alignment of the sock.

Note: If you begin this process at a time when you can allow the glasses to 'sit' for a few hours (i.e., sock them one evening, and allow to sit all night), then you can be certain the socks won't try to 'retract' on you. This way when you trim the excess you'll be certain it will truly be the correct length, leaving no gaps in the front or back of the earpiece.

Also, if you're still having trouble, you might try heating the sock up a bit with a blowdryer to expand the material before you slide them onto the earpiece.

Hope this helps! Flex

Don't use any petroleum-based substance on an ear sock. It will rot the rubber. Try this instead of Vaseline: Dishwashing liquid. That's right Oakley lovers, it works great. Put a little on the end of the earpiece and inside the ear sock. It will slide right on, and then you can rinse off the soap! Love those Oakleys!!

How is a glass made?

Glass is essentially silicon dioxide (the most common, but other minerals are used for special purposes) melted to a liquid and then cooled in such a way as to not form crystals, but a disordered structure. The previous poster was right: sand is mostly silicon dioxide.

To make plate glass, people take this molten glass and float it onto a molten layer of metal! The glass is then rolled off the pool of molten metal to cool and form sheets, which is how they can make glass so flat.

For a cool demonstration of how people used to make things out of glass, check out this video:
