Polarisation

Polarization is a process that makes transverse waves, like light, oscillate in one plane. It is used to detect stress lines in transparent materials and create 3D effects. Unlike transverse waves, longitudinal waves, such as sound, cannot be polarized as they oscillate in the direction of motion.
