Polarization of Light ?

Polarization is a phenomenon induced by the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation.

Sunlight is an best example of an electromagnetic wave since it travels through the vacuum to reach the Earth,because an electric field interacts with a magnetic field, these waves are known as electromagnetic waves. 

Polarization is the process of converting non-polarized light into polarized light. The light in which particles vibrate in all various planes is known as unpolarized light.

Difference between Polarized light and unpolarized light :

Polarized light and unpolarized light are two types of light that differ in the orientation of their electric field vibrations.

Polarized Light:Polarized light, on the other hand, refers to light in which the electric field vectors vibrate in a specific plane or direction. In polarized light, the electric field oscillations occur in a well-defined direction, rather than randomly. The process of transforming unpolarized light into polarized light is called polarization. Polarization can occur through various methods, such as reflection, transmission, scattering, or filtering.

Unpolarized Light:The light wave in which the electric field vectors vibrate in all possible directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the light is called unpolarized light. That is unpolarized light electric field vibrated randomly in all possible planes. We can define unpolarized light as a combination of light waves with all possible orientations of the electric field vectors. Sources of light such as the Sun or Incandescent bulbs emit unpolarized light.
