An essay on light bulb While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind light bulb‚ I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. In depth analysis of light bulb can be an enriching experience. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism‚ it is yet to receive proper recognition for laying the foundations of democracy.

Generally‚ unpolarized light can be considered to be vibrating in a vertical and a horizontal plane. To polarize light‚ one can transmit the light through a polariod filter which will only allow light of single polarity to pass. The resulting light will be
