Light is polarized when all the electons emanating from photons are oriented in the same direction as depicted in the next illustration.
The two photons are polarized because their electons are oriented in the same plane. There are no electon virtual particles shot toward the viewer nor directly away from the viewer.
If the electons are in the same plane as shown, it is equally true that magnons are also in the same plane, but at a 90 degree angle to the electon plane. Thus they will be either directed toward the viewer or away from the viewer.
Polarization of light can be achieved by shining light through a crystal. Polarization can be so complete that when a second crystal is oriented 90 degrees to the first, the polarized light can not pass through the second crystal.
In the next blog, I will discuss how elastic strings influence reflection of photons off shiny surfaces. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
