Polaroids and Their Applications

Science > Physics > Wave Theory of Light > Polaroids In this article, we shall study the use of the phenomenon of polarization of light, principle, construction, and working of polaroids. Double Refraction: In the case of some crystals like calcite or quartz, a single ray of unpolarized light from a point source of light […]

Polarization of Light

Science > Physics > Wave Theory of Light > Polarization of Light In this article, we shall study the concept of polarization of light, Brewster’s law associated with it. Ordinary Light: Light waves are transverse in nature. The direction of its vibration is in the plane which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of […]
