GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The phenomenon due to which vibrations of light waves are restricted in a particular plane is called polarisation. In an ordinary beam of light from a source, the vibrations occur normal to the direction of propagation in all possible planes. Such beam of light called unpolarised light.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polarized waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane. Plane polarized light consists of waves in which the direction of vibration is the same for all waves. In the image above, you can see that a plane polarized light vibrates on only one plane.

Detailed explanation-3: -polarization, property of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way.

Detailed explanation-4: -In linearly polarized light, the electric vector is vibrating in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as discussed above.
