Polarization refers to the orientation of electromagnetic waves, specifically light waves, in one particular direction.
congrats on reading the definition of Polarization. now let's actually learn it.
Malus's Law: A law that describes how the intensity of polarized light changes when it passes through another polarizer.
Brewster's Angle: The angle at which incident light is perfectly polarized after reflection off a surface.
Circular Polarization: A type of polarization where the electric field vector rotates continuously as the wave propagates.
