Are you referring specifically to light waves rather than "any waves"? Do you know what "polarize" means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 For photons there is polarization by reflection. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/polref.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Light can also be polarised by passing through certain types of crystals or other materials (e.g. a polarising filter as used in sunglasses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
