Polarized light waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane?vela said:What does it mean for light to be polarized?
Im not sure.vela said:Vibrations of what?
vibrations of the light wave?vela said:Well, that's what your textbook is for.
vibrations of electric charges*hchakal said:vibrations of the light wave?
hchakal said:vibrations of electric charges*
I am clearly lost can you please explain the answer to me.Ray Vickson said:No. Vibrations of electric charge give rise to light waves, but the waves themselves can travel through empty space where there are no charges to vibrate. The electric and magnetic fields vibrate, and those are not material things.
Do you understand the concept of electric field?hchakal said:I am clearly lost can you please explain the answer to me.

Do you understand that an electromagnetic wave consists of an electric field and a magnetic field, at right angles, each oscillating?hchakal said:yes
some whatharuspex said:Do you understand that an electromagnetic wave consists of an electric field and a magnetic field, at right angles, each oscillating?
Then I suggest you read up on the net, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves) e.g., and come back to this thread with any questions you still have.hchakal said:some what
Light communication is a method of transmitting information through the use of light waves. This can include technologies such as fiber optics, lasers, and visible light communication (VLC).
Light communication works by using a light source (such as a laser) to encode information onto a light wave. This light wave is then transmitted through a medium, such as an optical fiber, to a receiver which decodes the information and translates it into usable data.
There are several advantages to using light communication. Some of these include high data transfer rates, low interference, and the ability to transmit information over long distances without the need for physical wires or cables.
Light communication has a wide range of applications, including telecommunications (such as internet and phone connections), medical imaging, and even underwater communication. It is also used in devices such as barcode scanners and remote controls.
Some challenges of using light communication include the need for a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, susceptibility to atmospheric conditions such as fog or rain, and potential security concerns with wireless light communication technologies.
