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.

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.


What is the difference between p-polarized and s-polarized light and how does it affect their interaction with surfaces?

P-polarized light vibrates parallel to the surface, while s-polarized light vibrates perpendicular to the surface. This difference affects how they interact with surfaces, as p-polarized light is more likely to be reflected, while s-polarized light is more likely to be transmitted or absorbed by the surface.
