Chapter 27, Problem 23A

How do polarizing filters allow each eye to see separate images in the projection of three-dimensional slides or movies?

To determine

How the polarizing filters allow each eye to see separate images in the 3D projection slides or movies.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The polarized 3D projection or a movie uses the polarization glasses to create the illusion of 3D images by restricting the light that reaches our eyes.

Generally, the slides are separated left and right. The polarized axes are at right angles from each other and the glasses are also at right angles, which creates two separate images. Therefore, the human brain translates both of them in 3-D projection slides or movies.

Conclusion:

The polarized axes are at right angles from each other and the glasses are also at right angles, which creates separate images in the 3D projection slides or movies.
