If you have a pair of sunglasses which you know are polarized, you can use them to test other pairs as well.

Here I'm showing an example of the mutiplier effect of perpendicular polarized sunglasses.

In the second part I show the difference using sunglasses which are not polarized.

Polarization is a process that helps tolerate glare (when driving or fishing) by filtering light coming from certain angles (it renders the light uni-directional)

  • When two polarized lenses are oriented at 90 degrees to each other all of the light is blocked (it turns black). Both lenses must be polarized for this to work.

    thank for comment now i get how it's work :) 3D cinema are using polarize glasses the effect source are come from the projector thats why 3D are prefectly fit to all movie :")

  • @paopaowellwell

    you can't use polarized glasses on red-cyan and vice versa. in order to watch polarized you need 2 projectors, each of them polarized differently by 90 degrees. some TV's feature 2 screens in eachother which are polarized differently.
