Polarization is the process of transforming unpolarized light into a light that is polarized. The polarization influences the cut-off wavelengths of filters, affects the focus of laser beams and can be of great importance when preventing unwanted back reflections. Test your understanding of polarization through the test below. Good luck.
Transmitted light is slightly weaker
There is no transmitted light
Transmitted light is polarized
