Polarizing filters need to be pointed at a

• left angle to the sun for maximum effect.

• perpendicular to the sun for maximum effect.

• right angle to the sun for maximum effect.

• Away from the sun for maximum effect.

Why won't the red filter allow the other colors to transmit?

• Because they reflect off of the filter.

• Because only red can transmit through a red filter.

• Because red has the longest wavelength.
