The solar glare of sunlight bouncing off water or snow can be a real problem for drivers. The reflecting sunlight is horizontally polarized, meaning that the light waves oscillate at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to a vertical line. At what angle relative to this vertical line should transmission axis of polarized sunglasses be oriented, if they are to be effective against solar glare

Answer:

Explanation:

The light waves in the reflected sunlight are horizontally polarized, which illustrates that they oscillate at a [tex]90^o[/tex] angle related to a vertical line.

Depending on the condition of the height of the light, the glare can be almost entirely horizontally polarized. Furthermore, all reflections from over-water surfaces are partially polarized. The water becomes more translucent when using polarized sunglasses.

If polarized sunglasses are to be efficient against solar glare, the transmission axis should be positioned at an angle of [tex]\theta = 45^{o}[/tex]
