Hi everyone,
A friend of mine attending university in Japan is trying to write a paper in English discussing the effect that occurs when looking at a screen through polarized sun glasses (i.e. it looks dark or black).
She is looking for a formal term that specifically addresses the screen appearing black, rather than the cross-polarization that underlies the effect. The phenomenon rather than it's mechanics.
Is there a formal term for that? Occlusion doesn't sound like it would be right, but maybe it is; I am not a scientist (only trying to help out).
