A chick hatching from an egg. The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as which came first: the chicken or the egg?. The dilemma stems from the observation that all chickens hatch from eggs and all chicken eggs are laid by chickens.
Unpolarized light can also become polarized when it is scattered in air (also known as Rayleigh scattering). This occurs due to the fact that the EM waves cause the electron in air to vibrate, producing radiation and causing polarization of the light.
When light of a given wavelength enters the eye and strikes the cones of the retina, a chemical reaction is activated that results in an electrical impulse being sent along nerves to the brain. It is believed that there are three kinds of cones, each sensitive to its own range of wavelengths within the visible light spectrum.
