2. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

   Polarization (also polarisation) is a property of transverse waves which specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. [1][2][3][4][5] In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. [4] A simple example of a polarized transverse wave is vibrations traveling along a ...

3. Polarizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizer

   A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. [1][2][3][4] It can filter a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam of well-defined polarization, known as polarized light.

4. Polarized (film) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarized_(film)

   Polarized is a British-Canadian drama film, written and directed by Shamim Sarif and released in 2023. [1] The film stars Holly Deveaux as Lisa, a young farm girl from rural Manitoba who is fired by manager Dalia (Maxine Denis) from her job after an angry, racially insensitive outburst, only for the two women to subsequently develop a romantic relationship which tests the divisions and ...

5. Plane of polarization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_of_polarization

   The plane of vibration, containing both electric vectors (E & D) and both propagation vectors, is sometimes called the "plane of polarization" by modern authors. Fresnel's "plane of polarization", traditionally used in optics, is the plane containing the magnetic vectors (B & H) and the wave-normal. Malus's original "plane of polarization" was ...

6. Polarization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization

   Polarization (electrochemistry), a change in the equilibrium potential of an electrochemical reaction. Concentration polarization, the shift of the electrochemical potential difference across an electrochemical cell from its equilibrium value. Spin polarization, the degree by which the spin of elementary particles is aligned to a given direction.

7. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

   Circularly polarized light can be converted into linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-waveplate. Passing linearly polarized light through a quarter-waveplate with its axes at 45° to its polarization axis will convert it to circular polarization. In fact, this is the most common way of producing circular polarization in ...
