POLARIZATION.COM POLARIZED LIGHT IN NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY This site is for curious people who want to look at the generally invisible world of polarized light. Polarization is present in the rainbow, in the hidden color of minerals, in the dance of honeybees, in the flow of molten metal, in the color of beetles, and the gloss of tree leaves at dawn. THE DISCOVERY OF POLARIZATION (POLARIZATION.COM) The history of polarized light since the vikings. Thomas Young had amazing broad interests and talents, "a la Leonardo". From his discoveries in medicine and science, Helmholtz concluded: "His was one of the most profound minds that the world has ever seen." He deciphered the hieroglyphics from Egypt (before Champollion) and contributed to the Rosetta Stone (by the way, the iconoclast THE POLARIZATION OF THE SKY The sky is polarized, as any bee will eagerly tell you. Humans (with the possible exception of the Vikings) only discovered this in 1809 thanks to Arago.Sixty years later John Tyndall demonstrated how this happens with his famous and beautiful light-shinning-through-cloudy-matter experiments . POLARIZED HEADLIGHTS WITHOUT GLARE The son of a scrap-metal businessman, Edwin Land invented the sheet polarizer when he was 19 years old. He went on to get 535 US patents, second only to Edison. MYTHS AND TRUTHS ABOUT POLARIZED SUNGLASSES AND GLARE Fact: The glare of the sun on the sea (and other surfaces) is highly polarized ! Indeed, the glare can be almost completely horizontally polarized, depending on the height of the sun. In addition, all reflections from objects above water are partially polarized. THE SECRET GIFT OF POLARIZED VISION Too much of a good thing As a Chicago gangster would had said: "sometimes you can know too much."Or, in the words of polarization vision researchers Wehner and Bernard: ". . . when zig-zagging over a meadow with all its differently inclined surfaces of leaves, the bee would experience pointillistic fireworks of false colors that would make it difficult to impossible to detect the real colors POLARIZED SIGNALING UNDERWATER AND THE P-VISION OF THE OCTOPUS Cuttlefish have special markings that change colors depending on the circumstances. A kind of ten-armed chameleon. As other cephalopods, they have chromatophores and iridescent cells forming special patterns.In particular, the cuttlefish has pink "iridophore" arm stripes down the middle of the six central arms, an "eye ring" around the eyes and a "head bar" at the top of the front of the head. DANCE AND COMMUNICATION OF HONEYBEES: NAVIGATION USING THE Bee's polarized compass and amazing dance. "Each bee on her return is followed by three or four companions . . . how they do it has not yet been observed" Aristotle, Historia Animalium, IX "In the summer of 1944 a few very simple experiments led to a result that was just as unexpected as it was thrilling" Karl von Frisch on the discovery of the dance language of bees .

RAINBOW, HALO AND GLORY Rainbows are the most famous of many extraordinary displays that can be seen in the sky. Everybody seems to love them, from children to old men, and few wouldn't stop at least a few seconds to admire a fully developed rainbow. It has to do, undoubtedly, with its beautiful sequence of colors; but also with its perfect geometrical shape against the random background of clouds.

POLARIZED SIGNALING UNDERWATER AND THE P-VISION OF THE OCTOPUS Cuttlefish have special markings that change colors depending on the circumstances. A kind of ten-armed chameleon. As other cephalopods, they have chromatophores and iridescent cells forming special patterns.In particular, the cuttlefish has pink "iridophore" arm stripes down the middle of the six central arms, an "eye ring" around the eyes and a "head bar" at the top of the front of the head. RAINBOW, HALO AND GLORY Diffraction Coronas frequently appear as an aureole around the moon, the sun, and bright lights when partially blocked by clouds, mist, or dust particles.If these are of uniform size, distinct rings appear, colored from blue on the inside to red on the outside. The size of the corona, as the glory, is only a few degrees in diameter. CIRCULARLY POLARIZED LIGHT: BEETLES AND DISPLAYS Circular polarization in nature and technology. The rose chaffer (Cetonia aurata) beetle has the colored gloss over all its body, while others like the cock chafer, the summer chafer, and the garden chafer have it only over some parts. DANCE AND COMMUNICATION OF HONEYBEES: PAGE 2 Bee's polarized compass and amazing dance. Truly Amazing Bees. Few animals are more amazing than honeybees. They live in an intricate society, with queens, guards, builders, cleaners, nurses, heating and cooling technicians, scouts, honey makers, pollen stampers, and collectors of nectar, pollen, water, and resin (each worker bee goes through many different "jobs" during her lifetime).

THE DISCOVERY OF POLARIZATION (POLARIZATION.COM) The history of polarized light since the vikings. Thomas Young had amazing broad interests and talents, "a la Leonardo". From his discoveries in medicine and science, Helmholtz concluded: "His was one of the most profound minds that the world has ever seen." He deciphered the hieroglyphics from Egypt (before Champollion) and contributed to the Rosetta Stone (by the way, the iconoclast THE POLARIZATION OF THE SKY The sky is polarized, as any bee will eagerly tell you. Humans (with the possible exception of the Vikings) only discovered this in 1809 thanks to Arago.Sixty years later John Tyndall demonstrated how this happens with his famous and beautiful light-shinning-through-cloudy-matter experiments . POLARIZED HEADLIGHTS WITHOUT GLARE He was a prodigious inventor. He was a very successful entrepreneur and businessman. He was a visionary. But he couldn't sell the life-saving device he cherished the most. MYTHS AND TRUTHS ABOUT POLARIZED SUNGLASSES AND GLARE Fact: The glare of the sun on the sea (and other surfaces) is highly polarized ! Indeed, the glare can be almost completely horizontally polarized, depending on the height of the sun. In addition, all reflections from objects above water are partially polarized. SKYLIGHT COMPASS AND POLARISCOPE (PAGE 1) A light compass? In the 1950's Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) used a polarization compass during transpolar flights, perhaps recreating what the Vikings had done one thousand years before. Bees routinely orient themselves with respect to the sun with their built-in polarization compass, even in the shadow of mountains. The Skylight Compass (TM) Card lets you experiment with this mode of THE SECRET GIFT OF POLARIZED VISION Too much of a good thing As a Chicago gangster would had said: "sometimes you can know too much."Or, in the words of polarization vision researchers Wehner and Bernard: ". . . when zig-zagging over a meadow with all its differently inclined surfaces of leaves, the bee would experience pointillistic fireworks of false colors that would make it difficult to impossible to detect the real colors DANCE AND COMMUNICATION OF HONEYBEES: NAVIGATION USING THETHE DANCE OFTHE HONEY BEE
Bee's polarized compass and amazing dance. "Each bee on her return is followed by three or four companions . . . how they do it has not yet been observed" Aristotle, Historia Animalium, IX "In the summer of 1944 a few very simple experiments led to a result that was just as unexpected as it was thrilling" Karl von Frisch on the discovery of the dance language of bees . HAIDINGER'S BRUSH: THE UNKNOWN SENSE Haidinger's Brush How to see polarization with the naked eye !!! "I can see it particularly clearly in the twilight when I stare at the zenith; the whole sky seems to be covered by a network, as it were, and everywhere I look I see this characteristic pattern.
