A polarized society is one which has extreme disagreements on at least one important issue. We could say that the US is polarized on the issue of abortion, for example. Many people think that abortion is a monstrous crime which should never be allowed, while many others think that it is absolutely necessary for women to be able to obtain abortions. This is also known as the "pro-life vs. pro-choice" argument. The metaphor of polarization relates to the North and South Poles of the planet Earth; these are geographically opposite to eachother, at the farthest north and the farthest south locations that exist on our world. People with extreme disagreements also seem to be, in an intellectual rather than geographical sense, extremely far apart.

A polarized society is one in which there is a clear division or extreme contrast between different groups or individuals. This can manifest in various ways, such as sharp disagreements, deep-seated mistrust, or a lack of consensus on important issues, leading to a feeling of "us versus them."

How can you obtain circularly polarized light from linearly polarized light?
Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
Do all light bulbs produce polarized light?
No, not all light bulbs produce polarized light. The polarization of light depends on the source of light and its characteristics. LED and fluorescent light bulbs can produce polarized light, while incandescent bulbs generally do not produce polarized light.
How can sunlight be polarized?
Sunlight can become polarized when it interacts with the Earth's atmosphere, such as through scattering or reflection off surfaces. This causes the light waves to align in a specific orientation, creating polarization. Specialized filters, like polarized sunglasses, can then block out this polarized light to reduce glare.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by vibration and compression, unlike electromagnetic waves which can be polarized due to their transverse nature.
Is phospholipids are polarized molecules?
no
Are the oakley flak jackets polarized?
Not all pairs are. You have to buy Polarized lenses for them to be polarized.
Is an SCR polarized?
is s.c.r polarized
Can a laser be polarized?
Yes, they are almost always polarized.
Light that has passed through a polarizing filter is called?
polarized light
When was Kaenon Polarized created?
Kaenon Polarized was created in 2001.
What are GPL lenses are they polarized?
In reference to Ray-Ban sunglasses, their GPL lenses are polarized. The GPL stands for Glass Polarized Lens.
What is the difference between polarized and non polarized?
the existence of a dipole moment.
What is light passed through a polarized filter?
Such light is said to be polarized.
Are g15 xlt lenses polarized?
No. Polarized cost about $100 more.
Do capacitors have positive and negative?
Some capacitors have terminals as they are polarized but some have not as they are not polarized. you can easily identify a polarized capacitor as it has + or - terminal indication marked.
If you have polarized Oakley half jackets can you put non polarized lenses in the same frames?
Yep. No difference in lenses except for the polarized coating.
How can you obtain circularly polarized light from linearly polarized light?
Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
