i wonder how it's possible that due to reflection from water say of light only perpendicular components remain and others are refracted.
Reflection occurs when light waves bounce off a surface at a specific angle. This process can cause the light waves to align in a particular direction, resulting in polarization.
The angle of reflection is directly related to the degree of polarization. When light waves are reflected at a specific angle, they become more aligned in one direction, resulting in a higher degree of polarization.
No, only certain surfaces, such as smooth and flat surfaces, have the ability to cause polarization through reflection. Rough and irregular surfaces do not have this effect.
Polarization through reflection can reduce the intensity of light by filtering out certain directions of light waves. This can result in a decrease in brightness or color intensity.
Yes, polarization through reflection is reversible. This means that if the polarized light is reflected off the same surface again, it can return to its original state of unpolarized light.
