Such a medium contains lots of atoms and when an unpolarized light beam strikes an atom it transfers energy to an atom. As a result, an electron in that atom starts vibrating in response to the electric component of the incident ray. Now, this vibrating electron emits E.M radiation in all directions, and this forces neighboring electrons to undergo a similar process. This phenomenon of absorption and emission of the electromagnetic radiation is known as the scattering of light.

When Chromatic Aberration first activates you will see a small shaded circle in the centre of your canvas — this is the Focal Point. The Chromatic Aberration will radiate out from the centre of the Focal Point. This becomes more exaggerated the further from the centre of the Focal Point it is.

Now as this unpolarized light passes through the polarizer, it will polarize the light in either vertical or horizontal direction. This polarized light when again passed through a polarizer there can be two possible outcomes.

The Fall off slider controls the radial distance from the Focal Point before any effect is applied. 0% will apply the Chromatic Aberration directly from the edge of the Focal Point. 100% will apply a clear Fall off area from the Focal Point to the edge of the canvas before the effect is applied.

For this experiment let’s consider that we have an unpolarized light passing through two polarizer T1 and T2, here line on polarizer shows plane of vibration i.e., the plane in which electric field vector can vibrate freely, whereas electric field perpendicular to this line will be eliminated completely.

Polarization of Light is a property applying to transverse waves that specify the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. Light is an electromagnetic wave in which electric and magnetic field vectors are sinusoidally perpendicular to each other as well as they are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light waves.

Now if we rotate second polarizer in such a way that it becomes perpendicular to first one, in this case as plane polarized light passes through second polarizer it will get eliminated since second polarizer won’t allow it to pass and hence it is called analyzer which is used to determine the plane of polarization as shown below

Chromatic aberrationeffect

Substances are described as dextrorotatory or levorotatory according to whether the plane of polarization is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively, as determined by viewing towards the light source. Dextrorotation is designated (+) and levorotation is designated (-).

2. Circular polarization is when two linear components of a wave oscillate perpendicular to each other such that their amplitudes are equal.

The velocity and refractive index of extraordinary waves changes with direction whereas for ordinary ray velocity remains constant throughout the crystal while propagating.

There are three main types of polarization namely, linear polarization, circular polarization, and elliptical polarization.

However the scattered light can be unpolarized, partially polarized, or completely polarized based on the direction of the incident ray as shown below.

At the top of the canvas you’ll see a bar labelled Chromatic Aberration. This bar displays the amount of Chromatic Aberration applied to your image as a percentage.

Shift the red and blue plane of RGB images to mimic a camera lens’ Chromatic Aberration effect. In photography this effect is quite subtle and looks like a slight blue or red halo. Procreate gives you complete control of the direction and distance of the aberration. This allows you to exaggerate this effect.

1. Linear polarization is when the oscillation of a wave is constrained to a single plane. This is the plane of polarization.

Unlike Perspective mode, Displace doesn’t use a focal point. Displace affects the Chromatic Aberration on an image by allowing you to drag the effect wherever you want it.

The Transition slider controls the amount of blur applied to the Chromatic Aberration that radiates out from the focal point. 0% will give the edge of the Chromatic Aberration a subtle, soft appearance. 100% will make this edge harder and more visibly defined.

When we restrict vibration to an electrical vector in an unpolarized light we get plane polarized light. In this the direction of vibration of electric vector and direction of light propagation are perpendicular to each other as shown below.

The two rays of light are each plane-polarized by the calcite such that the planes of its polarization are mutually perpendicular to each other as shown below.

Polarization by scattering is generally observed in liquid or gas randomness in motion of atoms. However, in perfect crystals we don’t see as good results as fluids.

The Blur slider controls the amount of blur applied to you Chromatic Aberration. Initially this is set to 0% or zero Blur. Moving the slider to the right will increase the softness and blur of your Chromatic Aberration.

Polarization due to scattering can be seen through the sky as we can see below. When an unpolarized beam of sunlight passes through the atmosphere the light scatters down towards earth. Also it has no vertical polarization.

The specific rotation is a characteristic property of a certain substance and is the standard measurement for the optical rotation of that substance.

Touch and drag the white dot in the centre of the Focal Point to place it where you want. You can place the focal point inside and outside of your canvas. To place a Focal Point outside of your canvas, reduce the size of the canvas. Then drag the Focal Point into your desired position outside of the canvas area.

Chromatic aberrationexample

For calcite, one of the two rays does indeed obey Snell’s Law (angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction), this ray is called the ordinary ray (or O-ray). The other ray (and any ray that does not obey Snell’s Law) is an extraordinary ray (or E-ray). For normal incidence (a Snell’s law angle of 0°), the two planes of polarization are also perpendicular to the plane of incidence.

Experiment to get a visual understanding of how Transition and Fall off affect Chromatic Aberration. Slide the amount of Chromatic Aberration up to 100% and then move the Transition and Fall off sliders back and forth.

Thus using Brewster’s law, we can conclude that polarizing angle depends on frequency of incident ray i.e., colour of incident ray hence polarizing angle will be different for different colour.

When in Displace mode, touch and drag to set the distance and the direction of your Chromatic Aberration's red and blue planes

When light wave propagates it consists of vibration of electric field in all possible direction, which are perpendicular to its direction of propagation and such light waves are said to be unpolarized light.

The Transparency slider controls the amount of transparency applied to you Chromatic Aberration. Initially this is set to 0% or zero Transparency. Moving the slider to the right will decrease the Transparency of your Chromatic Aberration.

When the electric field vectors are restricted to a single plane by filtration, then the light is said to be polarized with respect to the direction of propagation and it propagates in a single plane. In this article, we are going to learn about the polarization of light, brewster’s law, double refraction, polarization by scattering. Let’s understand the Physics (Optics) phenomenon of unpolarized light first.

If the plane of vibration of both polarizers are parallel to each other in such polarized light from the first polarizer can easily pass through the second polarizer as shown below.

And hence from this experiment we can conclude that electric fields are vibrating perpendicular to its direction of propagation, hence light is a transverse wave.

3. Elliptical polarization is the same as circular polarization except that the amplitudes and phase differences are not the same.

Optical activity is the ability of a substance to rotate the plane of polarization of a beam of light that passed through it.

Light passing through a calcite crystal is split into two rays as shown below. This process is called double refraction or polarization by refraction.

For monoclinic or tetragonal crystals, we get the above result i.e., One O-ray and one e-ray can be observed. Whereas for orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic crystals, there will be two E-rays

Initially this is set at 0% Chromatic Aberration. Drag your finger right to increase the amount of red and blue separation. Drag your finger left to reduce the amount of separation.

Suppose if a pencil mark is drawn upon a sheet of paper and then covered with a piece of glass, only one image will be seen. But if the same paper is covered with a piece of calcite and the crystal is oriented in a specific direction then two marks will become visible. This is because a refracted beam acquires some degree of polarization. Most often, the polarization occurs in a plane perpendicular to the surface.

A polarimeter is an instrument used to determine the angle through which plane-polarized light has been rotated by a given sample.

Q: A sugar solution in a tube of length 2.0 dm produces optical rotation of 12°. Then, the sugar solution to one half of its initial concentration. If the dilute solute solution is contained in another tube of length 3.0 dm, the optical rotation produced by it will be

The optical rotation is the angle through which the plane of polarization is rotated when polarized light is passed through a layer of a liquid.

So, as we discussed above, light is a transverse wave, and confining the plane of vibration of such a transverse wave by the principle of scattering is termed Polarization by scattering.

Double refraction, also known as birefringence, is an optical property in which a single ray of unpolarized light entering an anisotropic medium is split into two rays i.e., ordinary & extraordinary rays, each traveling in a different direction.The concept of Double refraction can be observed by comparing two materials, glass and calcite.

This is the reason the sky scatters more blue light than red because of the natural frequency of molecules in our atmosphere.
