Question
Plane-polarized light is light in which the ____ of all the waves are oriented in the same direction
Answer
Plane-polarized light is light in which the electric fields of all the waves are oriented in the same direction
Note: Gout (the precipitation of monosodium urate crystals) and pseudogout (the precipitation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals) are differentiated by their precipitate colors under polarized light: monosodium urate appears yellow and calcium pyrophosphate appears blue when the axis of the crystal is aligned with a polarizer.
