Expect students to look through the sunglasses and a polaroid film and figure out that the film must be oriented horizontally because sunglasses are vertically polarized. By doing this, they learn that polarized sunglasses change the light intensity.
Sep 30, 2023 · What are polarized sunglasses and how do they work? Polarized sunglasses are eyewear with lenses that have a built-in optical filter to block horizontally polarized light. They work by selectively allowing vertically polarized light to pass through, reducing glare and improving visual clarity.
When light reflects from water, asphalt, or other nonmetallic surfaces, it becomes polarized—that is, the reflected light is usually vibrating more in one direction than others. Polarizing sunglasses reduce this reflection, known as glare, but only when the polarizing lenses are oriented properly.
