It's interesting to be able to figure out the orientation of the screens (for example, my cell phone emits horizontally polarized light, most monitors I looked at are diagonal), but this is ...

In most cases, artificial polarized light symbolizes one thing to animals. "For example, the primary source of horizontally polarized light in nature is water," says Robertson. "Biologists ...

Light can be polarized in different directions. Polarized sunglasses take advantage of this phenomenon: They reduce glare by filtering out horizontally polarized light that bounces off a road or ...

The constriction blocks the horizontally polarized light because its width is too narrow to confine the light to the top surface. In test devices operating at wavelengths typical for optical fiber ...

so the light bouncing off a pond or a car hood – both of which are horizontal – will reflect horizontally polarized light. This is why polarized sunglasses cut down on glare. They can be made ...

The light is polarized horizontally by horizontal polarizer P2, then passes through a liquid crystal LC. While the pixel can apply a voltage across the liquid crystal through transparent ...

Only the light that hits your lenses vertically passes through polarized lenses. If light hits horizontally, it bounces off your lenses instead. Because of this, everything may look a little ...

Put on a pair of polarizing sunglasses – which block horizontally-polarized light – and the world looks a bit different. If you look at the rear windows of some cars for example, you will notice a ...

They block horizontally polarized light waves that bounce off surfaces such as water. In space, when a light wave hits a cloud of gas, that polarizes it and changes its vibration direction.
