How DoespolarizedLight Behave and What is3-D? Filtering Out the Waves
What is Polarized Light? • Light travels in waves • Light waves are transverse • Sound waves are longitudinal Longitudinal Transverse
How do light waves move? • Light is non-polarized and vibrates in all directions • It has horizontal and vertical movements
How Does Polarization Happen? • When a plane of light is selected or filtered out, it becomes polarized • Glare from the water or road is partially polarized from the reflection of light
Using Polarized Sunglasses • Polarizing filters select a vertical plane of light movement
Polarizers Can Block Out Light • Two polarizing filters, rotated 90° opposite of each other can completely block light
Your Turn… AnaglyphOnline Activity
How Does 3-D Viewing Work • Our eyes are set about 2.5 inches apart • Each eye takes a slightly different view of the same object
3-D Viewing Continued • The brain combines the similarities of the object • It also adds up the differences that each eye observes • The 2-eye viewing combines to form a 3-D stereo image
How Does 3-D Stereograms or Anaglyph Work? • 3-D Stereograms require the person to focus past the page or computer screen • Put your nose close to the page or computer screen and slowly move away till you can view the 3-D object
Anaglyphs Continued • Requires glasses with a red left lens and a cyan right lens • The left eye only views an image that selects the red from the photo • The right eye only views an image that selects the cyan from the photo
Anaglyphs Continued • The images on the photo are slightly offset • Your brain takes the red and cyan images with slightly different views and combine to form a binocular stereopsis
How Do 3-D TV and Movies Work? • A 3-D slide show or movie has one horizontally polarized view and another vertically polarized view. • The viewer wears polarizing eyeglasses with the lens axes also at right angles.
