I was a physics major and I still don’t really understand the polarization of light. My brother (also a physics major) and I tried to get a grasp on it one day together, but we couldn’t get to the “like I’m 5” level. Only the trust-in-calculus level.
There are better answers here than mine, I just want to confirm that this is not an easy question to answer without major oversimplification.
