Which of the following describes the polarization of light?
  1. Light waves oscillate in all directions
  2. Light waves oscillate in a single plane
  3. Light waves oscillate in a circular motion
  4. Light waves do not oscillate

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following describes the polarization of light?
  • Step 1: Understand that light is made up of waves.
  • Step 2: Know that these waves can move in different directions.
  • Step 3: Realize that polarization means the light waves are restricted to move in only one direction or plane.
  • Step 4: Visualize this by imagining a slinky that can only move up and down instead of in all directions.
