Why the sun glasses reduce the glare of intense light?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Light Polarization**: - Light can be either unpolarized or polarized. Unpolarized light consists of waves vibrating in multiple planes, while polarized light consists of waves vibrating in a single plane. 2. **Source of Glare**: - Glare is often caused by intense light reflecting off surfaces such as wet roads or water. This reflected light can become partially polarized, meaning that a significant portion of it vibrates in a specific direction (usually horizontally). ...
