What is polarization Lightwave are produced by vibrating electric charges discharged from the sun or artificial light sources. The natural and mathematical understanding of electromagnetic waves is beyond the scope of this design lighting course and has no direct bearing on architectural design. However, understanding that polarization is an electromagnetic wave with a magnetic component is enough to understand light in design and material selection purposes for polarization. When considering natural daylight, it has a magnetic component which enables light charges to move in a non static direction and natural light wave that is vibrating In non static direction, is referred to as unpolarized. Light. light emitted by the sun or by a candle or flame or fire is also unpolarized light.

Because of the many directions in which the electric magnetic Lightwave moves and is formed. The concept of unpolarized light is easiest to consider as a light wave that has passed its vibration particles in a horizontal plane and half of its vibrations. In a vertical plan, which fracture the clarity of the objects to the human eye. It is possible to transform unpolarized light to polarized light. polarized light waves are lightweight ways in which the vibrations occur in a single plane. The process of transforming unpolarized light into public eyes light is known as polarization.

There are a variety of methods of polarizing light. These four methods discussed here, polarization by a transmission, polarization by reflection, polarization by refraction and polarization by scattering will be explained further in this course.
