Polarization A light wave polarized in the vertical
direction will pass through a vertical slit, but is stopped by a horizontal slit
![Page 12: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Polarization The light wave in (a) is polarized to the
vertical plane The light wave in (b) is unpolarized
![Page 13: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Polarization The most common polarizer of light is
Polaroid, a plastic invented by 19-year old Harvard undergrad, Edwin Land, in 1928
You may have heard of his Polaroid camera
![Page 14: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Polarization Polarizers have a molecular structure
that only allows light of a certain orientation to pass thru
The direction of polarization is usually shown by a line on the film
![Page 15: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Malus’s Law Vertically polarized film will let 100% of
vertical waves through and 0% of horizontal waves
But what about those aligned at angles in between?
![Page 16: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Malus’s Law
But what about those aligned at angles in between?
For an electric field, E0 , only the vertical component of the field will pass through

Malus’s Law
The intensity of the light that passes through is proportional to the square of the field strength, so,

Polarizers and Analysers
If, however, the light is already polarized, the intensity of the polarized light passing through a polarizer will range from 100% (film axis aligned with light polarization axis) to 0% (film axis perpendicular to light polarization axis)
![Page 21: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Polarization by Reflection Light can be partially polarized
through reflection When light is reflected off a non-
metallic surface, not all planes of light are reflected equally
![Page 22: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Polarization by Reflection Light in the plane of incidence has
the least magnitude
![Page 23: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Polarization by Reflection Light in a plane perpendicular to the
reflecting surface has the greatest magnitude
![Page 24: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Polarization by Reflection The degree to which light is polarized
parallel to the reflecting surface depends on the angle of incidence
![Page 25: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Brewster Angle Do not confuse with Brewster’s Millions
though Richard Pryor does seem to have an angle on everything
Brewster found that the degree to which reflected light was polarized was dependent on the angle of incidence and angle of refraction
He also found that reflected light was 100% polarized when the angle between reflected light and refracted light was 90°
![Page 26: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Brewster Angle Brewster’s Angle (B) is defined as the
angle of incidence which produces a 100% polarized reflected light
If angle of incidence is B, angle of reflection is also B and the angle of refraction will be 90°-B
![Page 27: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Optical Activity
Normally, two polarizers at right angles to each other would block all light passing thru
If certain sugar solutions are placed between the polarizers, light passes through
How come?
![Page 30: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Optical Activity The sugar solution rotates the plane of
polarization as the light passes through Rotation of the plane of polarization
is called optical activity Materials that show optical activity
are called optically active materials
![Page 31: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Optical Activity Angle of change is dependent on distance
travelled through the material and light wavelength
Angle of change can be determined by the angle of the second polarizer from 90 degrees to the point where light disappears
![Page 32: Devil physics The baddest class on campus IB Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816720550346895ddba420/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Practical Applications
Stress Analysis – certain materials will increase in their optical activity when subjected to stress Degree of increase is
proportional to force applied Measuring Solution
Concentrations – the amount of a certain solution’s optical activity will change based on concentration

Practical Applications Liquid Crystal Displays
Uses liquid crystals to make displays, hence the name
When an electric field is applied, the molecules align with the field to see the desired character
Apply for field to align molecules to polarizer so as to blank out the character
