Re: Polarized vision

Will you explain the wave/particle duality of light to me, I never could get a grip on that

I did a little work with polarised light with an ill based experiment a couple of years ago. Polarised lenses are made up of loads and loads of tiny parallel lines a few tinyweenymetres apart. Normal light is made up of waves whose up and down direction is non standard. Only waves which line up with the lines on the lens are allowed to pass through and those that do are now polarised. The diagram explains it better
