polarisaatiovaikutusta
Polarisaatiovaikutus, also known as polarization effect, is a phenomenon in physics where the polarization of light changes as it passes through certain materials. This effect is particularly notable in materials that exhibit birefringence, which is the property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light.
The polarization of light refers to the orientation of the electric field vector of the light wave.
In birefringent materials, such as calcite or certain crystals, light of different polarizations travels at different
Polarisaatiovaikutus has various applications in optics and photonics. It is used in polarizing filters for cameras
