Which of the following statements about polarized materials is NOT true?

Two polarized filters that have polarizing axes parallel to each other will block all the light passing through them.

Polarized materials have molecules that allow light to pass through them in only one direction.

Two sheets of polarized materials will block all light through them if they are placed so that their polarizing axes are perpendicular.

The alignment of molecules allowing only one direction of light in the material is called its polarizing axis.

All the statements given in the options are true.

Explanation:

polarization is applied to transverse waves.

The statements given in the options about polarized materials are all true.

As the two polarized filters that have polarizing axes parallel to each other will block all the light passing through them. Polarized materials have molecules that allow light to pass through them in only one direction.

Two sheets of polarized materials will block all light through them if they are placed so that their polarizing axes are perpendicular. The alignment of molecules allowing only one direction of light in the material is called its polarizing axis.
