In what direction is the polarization of the glare that reflects from a horizontal surface?
The direction of the polarization of the glare that reflects from a horizontal surface.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The polarization of light reflected from the horizontal surface in particular directions depending upon the type of metals and non-metals.
A person viewing the object by means of light reflected off of non-metallic surfaces will often perceive a glare if the polarization is large. And Light reflected off of a non-metallic object is partially polarized in the direction parallel to the surface of object. So, the direction of the polarization of the glare that reflects from a horizontal surface is horizontal.
Conclusion:
The direction is horizontal when the polarization of the glare that reflects from horizontal surface.
