Polarization is the property that indicates the direction of the vibrations of transverse waves. Transverse waves are waves that oscillate in the direction perpendicular to the propagation. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves, transverse sounds, and earthquake waves. Longitudinal waves oscillate in the same direction as the propagation. We can observe it in transverse waves as its polarization is perpendicular to the propagation. We actually experience this phenomenon with light every day. As you know, light is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of electricity and magnetism. When we talk about the polarization of light, we have to look at the electric field waves, not the magnetic field. There are three kinds of polarization. 1) Linear Polarization Linear polarization waves propagate toward the observed plane. The sum of the electric field E components reaches the observer, provided that it is perpendicular to the progression. 2) C...
