Polarization

The video tutorial explains the concept of polarized waves using a rope activity, demonstrating how wave motion can be represented mathematically. It covers filtering polarized waves with fences, using Polaroid sheets to show light intensity changes, and explains polarization by reflection and scattering. Brewster's law is discussed, highlighting its applications in determining refractive indices and reducing glare with polarized sunglasses.
