The Polarizer | Physics with Professor Matt Anderson | M28-17

You've probably heard of polarized sunglasses. Maybe you even own a pair. But how does it work, and what is this polarization anyway? Let's see.

I don't know how many likes and views you get but you are doing real chenge in the world and actually teaching us.proud of you sir . Thank you you are doing the best job in the world and far more supirior 5hen those dumb tiktokers 🙌

[@yoprofmatt]

Thanks very much, I appreciate it.
Stay tuned for MY tiktok channel (maybe someday).
Cheers,

Sir are your paid lectures diffrent from the UA-cam ones

[@abcxyz5679]

Sir please reply I don't have money to buy the course

[@yoprofmatt]

The paid course has the same lectures but adds interactive problems. And also, it's ad free.
Cheers,
Dr. A

@@yoprofmatt ok thankyou sir

[@Tahmid]

Do you have any explanation video why a polarizer cuts the intensity of depolarized light to half? If you expect depolarized light to have all random polarization directions, should a single polarizer cut it in half? (I know that it does, but I wanted an explanation why)

[@abcxyz5679]

Reply please sir

[@yoprofmatt]

Yes sir, I'm here. What's up?
Cheers,

[@fizixx]

That's a good analogy/explanation. 🕶 🌞

[@yoprofmatt]

Thanks fizixx! Hope you're having a good day.

@@yoprofmatt Thanks, you too. It was a good day. I just figured out some code for finding a maximum for a kinematic parabola. Easy enough, but never tried doing it numerically. Way kewl seeing it work, even though it's just a parabola with a peak marked on it, lol. 😄
