Concept and Principle:
- Normal light has electric field vectors that will vibrate in all perpendicular planes with respect to the direction of propagation.
- Polarization is the process by which these vibrations are confined to a single plane by filtration.
- Polarization angle is given by,
Here ni is the refractive index of the initial medium light takes and nf is the refractive index of the final medium light takes.
