Here, we are talking about the transmission axis.
The sunglasses are mainly used to to cut off the glare from horizontal surface where the light is mostly horizontally polarized. Therefore, the sunglasses must have vertical transmission axis.
For example - on a sunny day while at sea, fisherman or boaters use polarized sunglasses to cut off the horizontal component because water is highly reflective on a sunny day.
polarized sunglasses have a preferred axis direction. What is that direction ( vertical or horizontal) Explain?...
polarized sunglasses have a preferred axis direction. What is that direction ( vertical or horizontal) Explain? Why is it that direction?
A pair of polarized sunglasses is created with the purpose of minimizing the intensity of reflected sunlight (glare) off of a horizontal water surface. The polarization axis for these sunglasses should be ________ and the effect will be most noticeable when the observer looks ____ below the horizontal. Water has an index of refraction of 1.33 and air has an index of 1.00. a) horizontal, 36.9° b) vertical, 36.9° c) vertical, 53.1° d) horizontal, 53.1° e) none of the above...
Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. Only 90% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. No light passes through the second sheet. What angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?
A person riding in a boat observes that the sunlight reflected by the water is polarized parallel to the surface of the water. The person is wearing polarized sunglasses with the polarization axis vertical. If the wearer leans at an angle of 22.0 ∘ to the vertical, what fraction of the reflected light intensity will pass through the sunglasses?
Un-polarized light passes through two polarizers; the axis of one is vertical and that of the other is at 60 degree to the vertical. Calculate the intensity of the transmitted light, I_t in terms of the intensity of the initial un-polarized light, I_0. What happens to the intensity of the transmitted light if a third polarizer, with axis at 45 degree to the second polarizer above, is placed?
Linearly polarized light propagating along the y-direction is incident on a polarizer whose axis is parallel to the 2-direction. If the intensity of the transmitted light is equal to 33% of the incident intensity, what is the angle of polarization (in degrees) between the incident light and the z-axis? (Insert the number of degrees without unit)
PROBLEM #2: Max has two pairs of polarized sunglasses. Each of the four lenses has a polarization axis that is vertical (perpendicular to the ground) when worn. Max removes three of the lenses from the glasses and arranges them in front of the fourth lens so that the polarization axes of the first and the fourth lens are perpendicular to each other. He places the other two lenses between the outermost lenses, rotating the second and third lens so that...

can you sketch the answer too 4. Case: Incident light is circularly polarized The calcite material is a half wave plate HWP polarized light Incident light: Clockwise rotation when seen from the side in which light propagates and into the source Sketch your answer here also Notice the different labels of the axis compared to the previous questions. i) Provide an expression for the fields Elx.t) and Eyx.) in the region x<0 Provide an expression for the fields E(x,t) and...
