The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the use of polaroids to avoid glares from incoming light, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Function of Polaroids**: - Polaroids are optical filters that allow light waves of a specific polarization to pass through while blocking others. This property is used to reduce glare from surfaces like water or roads. 2. **Analyze the Situation**: - In the context of a car windshield made of polaroids, incoming light from the sun or other sources may be polarized. The polaroids will selectively absorb the polarized light that causes glare. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1: Visibility will decrease**: This is incorrect. While some light is absorbed, the overall visibility is not significantly affected because most of the light is transmitted. - **Option 2: Part of the sun is very cool will move slowly**: This option does not relate to the use of polaroids and is irrelevant. - **Option 3: Cost will increase**: This is also incorrect. Polaroids can be made from inexpensive synthetic materials, so the cost may not necessarily increase. - **Option 4: Transmittivity of the windshield will decrease**: This is correct. Since polaroids absorb certain polarized light waves, the overall transmittivity (the amount of light that passes through) of the windshield will decrease. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that the transmittivity of the windshield will decrease when polaroids are used to avoid glares from incoming light. ### Final Answer: The transmittivity of the windshield will decrease when polaroids are used to avoid glares of incoming light. ---
