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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
no
Not all pairs are. You have to buy Polarized lenses for them to be polarized.
is s.c.r polarized
Yes, they are almost always polarized.
Kaenon Polarized was created in 2001.
polarized light
In reference to Ray-Ban sunglasses, their GPL lenses are polarized. The GPL stands for Glass Polarized Lens.
Such light is said to be polarized.
the existence of a dipole moment.
No. Polarized cost about $100 more.
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.
Yep. No difference in lenses except for the polarized coating.
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.
