Filter light
- Polarized lenses have a special chemical applied to them to filter light. The chemical’s molecules are lined up specifically to block some of the light from passing through the lens. Think of it like a miniblind hanging in front of a window. Only light that passes through the blind’s openings can be seen.

Light travels from one place to another as a wave. In some ways, it is like a wave on a lake. Light travels out in all directions from a source, much like a water wave travels away from a rock dropped into water. In a wave on a lake, the water moves up and down while the wave travels across the surface perpendicular2to the motion of the water. A li...
To understand polarisation, picture a wave on a rope. If you make a series of up and down motions while holding onto a rope, a series of waves will move from your hand along the rope, transferring the motion down the rope. The rope moves up and down while the wave (and its energy) travels along the rope perpendicular to the motion of your hand. You...
One method of polarisation is by the use of a special polarising filter or lens. To understand how a polarising lens works, let’s go back to our rope example. If you make vertical waves on a rope that go through a vertical slit, shown as in figure A in the image below, the waves would travel through the slit easily because the orientation of the sl...
You can find examples of polarised light3in many places. When light is reflected off a surface at a steep angle, such as sunlight off the surface of water or an automobile windscreen, it becomes polarised. The glare from such reflections is greatly reduced by polarised lenses in sunglasses. The glasses worn by the audience in modern 3D films are po...
Feb 8, 2019 · Polarized lenses work by reducing glare from bright light off reflective surfaces and slightly increasing contrast, so they should make it easier to see things clearly in bright light.
May 27, 2021 · Polarized lenses, like UV sunglasses, protect your eyes from sun damage. While they do offer UV (ultraviolet) protection from the sun's rays, they also have other added benefits. Why are...
Polarization is the attribute that a wave’s oscillations have a definite direction relative to the direction of propagation of the wave. (This is not the same type of polarization as that discussed for the separation of charges.) Waves having such a direction are said to be polarized.
Sep 12, 2023 · The secret lies in the science behind their design. They offer exceptional glare reduction, enhanced visual clarity, reduced eye strain, and increased perception of colors. Let’s dive deeper into the fascinating world of polarization and understand how it works to provide these benefits.
