Students have asked these similar questions
Nonpolarized sunlight hits the pair of sunglasses you're wearing. If we can treat the glasses as an ideal Polaroid filter, how much light is transmitted through the glasses to hit your eye?
The ground spider Drassodes cupreus like many spiders, has
several pairs of eyes. It has been discovered that one of these pairs of eyes acts as a set of polarization
filters with one eye's polarization direction oriented at 90° to the other eye's polarization direction. In
addition, experiments show that the spider uses these eyes to aid in navigating to and from its burrow.
Explain how such eyes might aid navigation.

- Pearson Physics- BIO Predict/Calculate Optical Activity: Optically active molecules have the property of rotating the direction of polarization of linearly polarized light. Many biologically important molecules have this property, some causing a counterclockwise rotation (negative rotation angle), others causing a clockwise rotation (positive rotation angle). For example, a 5.00 gram per 100 mL solution of l-leucine causes a rotation of −.0550°; the same concentration of d-glutamic acid causes a rotation of 0.620°.
