Does any kind of polarized light transfer heat?

Does any kind of polarized light transfer heat or any other form of energy? If possible give me some theory and related equation.

Light does not "absorb" anything. What did you have in mind.

 

[nazmus sakib]

I should say transfer instead of "absorb or emit". another way of saying, is it possible to transfer energy using polarized light ?

Light has energy, so obviously yes.
Where is the point of the polarization? If you just want to transfer energy from A to B, there is no need to make your light polarized.

Don't ask x-y questions please. What do you actually want to do?

 

[nazmus sakib]

well, I am doing a lab based course, where my prof told me to come up with new idea and experiment about the polarization of light. It's kinda proposal type thing. So if I get some idea about how to transfer energy from one place to another probably I will use it in order to support my proposed experiment.

That's still too vague for us to offer any help. Unless you can give more details, the thread will be closed.

I guess your experiment should use some property specific to polarized light. "Transfer energy" in general does not use the polarization.
