The lenses in your polarized sunglasses are made of a material called a polarizer. I explain the atomic optics behind those materials.

Boom. That explains so much. It never occurred to me that it aligns the waves.

Gotta love a short that is looped so well, that it takes a few seconds to realize that it looped.

This video was super helpful, thank you :D. I am currently working on a school project on optics and happened to stumble across this video whilst choosing my topic. The second I saw this, I knew polarizing light was what I was going to dedicate my project to.

Solution. Double polarized glasses. Have both a vertical and horizontal polarized lenses smooshed together.

Seamless loop. A true thing of beauty.

Then what about the magnetic waves? They are not along the direction of the polarizer.

What he just say? I’m so confused. lol

Wait... Why glare from the side of the buildings don't get polarized? I'm lost
