Polarization

The document discusses the concept of polarized light, explaining how unpolarized light can be transformed into polarized light through various methods such as reflection and double refraction. It details the behavior of light as it passes through crystals, particularly focusing on the effects of orientation and the resulting polarization types, including plane and elliptical polarization. Additionally, it introduces Brewster's law and Malus's law, which describe the intensity of polarized light and the conditions for complete polarization.
