Notes from the JEE Toppers

7 : Polarization
  • Understand the concept of polarization, where light vibrations are restricted to a specific direction.
  • Brewster’s Law: $$(\tan(\theta_B) = n),$$ where θb is Brewster’s angle and (n) is the refractive index of the material.
  • Polarization filters allow the transmission of light oscillating in a specific direction.
