CONCEPT:
- A wave is an oscillation that carries energy from one place to another without transporting matter.
- Light is a combination of electric fields and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other.
- So, the two perpendicular planes are occupied by these fields. The electric and magnetic vibrations can simultaneously occur in a number of perpendicular planes.
- Therefore, light is an electromagnetic wave.
- A wave that oscillates in many numbers planes is called an unpolarized wave.
- Using devices called polarizers, light can be made to vibrate along a single plane. Such light waves are called polarized light.
- Polarization of light occurs when light is reflected, refracted, and scattered.
EXPLANATION:
- The direction of vibration of particles is a property associated with waves. Since light shows the vibration of the electric and magnetic field through polarization, the wave nature of light can be supported by polarization.
