    The document discusses the basic principles of light polarization. It describes how polarization photography can reduce sun glare, reflections, and haze while increasing color saturation. Polarization filters can darken skies and reduce vignetting when using wide-angle lenses. They are also useful for reducing reflections on surfaces and underwater, as well as in applications like marine biology, archaeology, and ROV inspection. The document covers topics such as polarization states, polarization classification, polarized and unpolarized waves, birefringence, and applications of polarized sunglasses.

    Polarized Wave: Has only one preferred orientation.

    Un-polarized Wave: Has no preferred orientation.


    or has all orientations.

    Partially polarized wave: Has preferred orientation but


    has energy in other orientations as well.
    Classification of Polarization

    Linear : Two orthogonal plane waves with same phase but


    possibly different amplitudes.

    Circular: Two orthogonal plane waves with 90 deg phase


    shift but same amplitudes.

    Elliptical: Possibly any degree phase shift with


    different amplitudes.

    Crossed Polarizers
    Polarizer Puzzle
    If crossed polarizers block all light, why does putting a third polarizer at
    45 between them result in some transmission of light?
