Generation

# Polarization of Light Polarization refers to the orientation of light's oscillating electric field vector in space. Unpolarized light has electric field vibrations in all perpendicular directions to propagation, while polarized light has vibrations confined to a specific plane. When unpolarized light passes through a polarizer, the transmitted intensity follows **Malus's Law**: **I = I₀ cos²θ** where I₀ is the incident polarized light intensity and θ is the angle between the light's polarization direction and the polarizer's transmission axis.
