Cross Polarization: What It Is and Why It Matters

Introduction to Polarized Light

How to use polarizing filters for colorful cross-polarization effects

Polarization of light is a wave property where the electric field oscillates in a specific direction or pattern, rather than randomly. Key Concept. Light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the propagation direction. Unpolarized light vibrates in all planes perpendicular to travel, while polarized light restricts vibrations to one plane (linear polarization) or a rotating pattern (circular/elliptical).
