Polarization

From Appropedia

Information on Polarization can be found at Wikipedia. What's this?

Polarization is a process in which rays of light show different properties in different directions. Especially in the state in which all the vibration takes place in one plane. A light wave is an electromagnetic wave which travels through this plane. These light waves are produced by vibrating electric charges. The electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave which has both an electric and a magnetic component.
