If the direction of the electric field is always parallel to a fixed line in space, the light is said to be linearly polarized, and the orientation of the electric field vector is taken as the direction of polarization. 查娃柄轿厩适绘埃忠阁骋斥挪塔补铃年灯鱼肾抡趟蛋舰挽碉剿狄衰瘩郝联12inteference12inteference Electric field oscillates within the page: Electric field oscillates perpendicular to the page: The graphical representation for linearly polarized light E c Plane of oscillation 盏祖止仪写混瞳觉咳帽饥捞烹腻燥领蕴琢往黑锗挎醚耶赤杉霍坯嫌拱萎命12inteference12inteference Natural Light The electromagnetic waves emitted by a laser or a television station all have the same polarization, but the electromagnetic waves emitted by any common source of light (such as the Sun or a bulb) are polarized randomly or unpolarized (called natural light). x y z z 衔雍逮妒遏馆舍祝章筛翻膜乍拼酞谊非筑韶豹拇登婶猾瞥蛊姆限纂渐六庭12inteference12inteference Partially Polarized Light Often, the light we experience in the environment is a blend of polarized and unpolarized known as partially polarized ? the electric fields oscillating along one direction have greater amplitudes than those oscillating along other directions. z z 碧露忘苛揭妄砖昆纤恃铀基冉办糊手篓勘困孔恤昌撵属粱狐坏纷费热重沉12inteference12inteference 14-2 Polarization by Polarizing Sheets A sheet consists of certain long molecules embeded in plastic. Unpolarized light Vertically polarized light When the light is then sent through the sheet, electric field components along one direction pass through the sheet, whi
