Why are polarized sunglasses effective at reducing glare from horizontal surfaces like water or snow?
They absorb all light, making everything darker.
They reflect all incoming light away from the eyes.
They block the horizontally oscillating electric fields of reflected glare.
They change the wavelength of the light, making it less intense.

What happens when two linearly polarized light waves, perpendicular to each other and with a 90-degree phase difference, are combined?
They cancel each other out, resulting in no light.
They form a single linearly polarized wave at a diagonal angle.
They combine to create circularly polarized light.
They increase the intensity of the original waves without changing polarization.
