Difference between Polarizer and Refraction

Polarizer vs. Refraction

A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. Refraction is the change in direction of wave propagation due to a change in its transmission medium.

Similarities between Polarizer and Refraction

Polarizer and Refraction have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Birefringence, Light, Optics, Snell's law, Total internal reflection, Wavelength.

Birefringence

Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light.

Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Optics

Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.

Snell's law

Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.

Total internal reflection

Total internal reflection is the phenomenon which occurs when a propagated wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.

Wavelength

In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

Polarizer and Refraction Comparison

Polarizer has 86 relations, while Refraction has 64. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 4.00% = 6 / (86 + 64).
