What is the phenomenon of polarization in light?
Correct Answer: Polarization is the orientation of light waves in a specific direction.
- Step 1: Understand that light is a wave, and like all waves, it has oscillations.
- Step 2: Know that these oscillations can happen in many directions.
- Step 3: Polarization means that the light waves are restricted to oscillate in just one direction.
- Step 4: Imagine a rope being shaken up and down; that's one way the wave can move. If you only shake it side to side, that's like polarized light.
- Step 5: Polarized light can be created by using special filters that only allow light waves in a certain direction to pass through.
