Q.No.116: - If light emitted from a single molecule is polarized then why the light emitted from incandescent and fluorescent light bulb is unpolarized?
Ans: - Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs contain molecules. These molecules emit polarized light individually but this light depends on the orientation of molecules and the orientation of each molecule is different in the bulb. That’s why the result of all these polarized lights coming from each molecule into unpolarized light.
