Look at the room lights through one of the polarizing filters provided
Describe how the filter affects what you see. Does rotating the filter have an affect?
The changes made by the filter in the view.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The polarized light is the one that have waves which vibrates only in one phase. A un-polarized can be transformed into a polarized light by using a polarizing filter. The process is called polarization.
When the room light are look through first polarizing filter they appear to be dimmer and their brightness is reduced by some amount because about half of the light is blocked as it passed through the filter. But at the same time the shape and dimension of the image is not distorted.
The rotation of filter will change the amount of polarized light passing through the filter. Because the filter will allow only light that is polarized in the direction perpendicular to the reflected light.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the room light are look through first polarizing filter they appear to be dimmer.
