The video explains how polarizing sunglasses help reduce glare by filtering light. It describes the mechanism of polarizing filters, which have tiny parallel slits that allow only certain planes of light to pass through, similar to Venetian blinds. This process results in polarized light, which vibrates along a single plane, effectively reducing glare and improving visibility for activities like skiing and fishing.

Why do skiers and fishermen wear sunglasses?

• To see better at night

• To protect from UV rays

• To look stylish

• To reduce glare from surfaces

What is the primary function of the tiny parallel slits in polarizing sunglasses?

• To enhance color

• To filter light and reduce glare

• To make the sunglasses lighter

• To block UV rays

How do polarizing filters in sunglasses work?

• They reflect all light

• They absorb all light

• They magnify the light

• They allow only certain planes of light to pass through

What happens to light after it passes through a polarizing filter?

• It vibrates along a single plane

• It scatters in all directions

• It changes color

• It becomes invisible

How does polarized light help in reducing glare?

• By increasing brightness

• By vibrating in multiple planes

• By changing its wavelength

• By vibrating along a single plane
