Our model of the polarization of light provides some substantial support for the wavelike nature of light. It would be extremely difficult to explain polarization phenomenon using a particle view of light. Polarization would only occur with a transverse wave.

Students will discover that polarization filters will be able to block incoming light from passing through when filters are positioned perpendicularly to each other. Students will be able to explain why the filters block some of the incoming light and also redirects incoming light.

By convention, the polarization of light is described by specifying the direction of the wave's electric field. When light travels in free space, in most cases it propagates as a transverse wave—the polarization is perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel.

The mere ability to explain particulars does not automatically imply a theory's truth-especially if, like the "particle/wave duality" of light, ... Defining polarization in terms of waves of light and then claiming that polarization "proves" a wavelike nature to light is circular: it uses the wavelike nature of light to...
