A polarized filter is helpful to a photographer because it can block certain types of light waves while allowing others to pass through. This can help reduce glare, reflections, and atmospheric haze, resulting in improved color saturation and contrast in photographs.

The correct answer is option "a) It blocks some light but not all." A polarized filter is helpful to a photographer because it selectively reduces certain types of reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as glass or water. This filter allows the photographer to control the amount of polarized light entering the camera lens, resulting in better color saturation, increased contrast, and overall improved image quality. Additionally, a polarized filter can also enhance the appearance of skies, reducing haze and making clouds stand out more.
