The solar glare of sunlight bouncing off water or snow can be a real problem for drivers. The reflecting sunlight is horizontally polarized, meaning that the light waves oscillate at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to a vertical line. At what angle relative to this vertical line should transmission axis of polarized sunglasses be oriented, if they are to be effective against solar glare? Can someone explain this please? Thanks!

You are looking at the surface of a pond. A sun ray (angle of incidence 50 degrees with respect to the normal) illuminates a fish 30 centimeters below the surface of the water. Your eye judges the fish to be 5 meters horizontally away from you. How far away from you horizontally is the fish actually?

Horizontally polarized light reflecting off of a lake surface reaches a polarizer with a vertically oriented transmission axis. (a) What percentage of the original light intensity is transmitted through the polarizer? (b) If an additional polarizer (with its transmission axis oriented at an angle of 35 degrees from the horizontal) is placed in front of the original polarizer (so that the light reaches the new polarizer first), what percentage of the original intensity is transmitted through both polarizers? (c) If...
