6H - Polarization
 |
6H 10.10 - Polarization:
Demonstrates: Polarization. Description: Use small insert optical bench with the Beseler projector. There are several slides. |
 |
6H 10.15 - Polarization with Big Polarizers:
Demonstrates: Polarization. Description: Use Fresnel spotlight and large polarizers. |
 |
6H 10.20 - 3 cm. Microwave Apparatus:
Demonstrates: Polarization and diffraction. Description: Hold dipole array at 900 angle to show polarization. Double and single slits are available for diffraction. An aluminum sheet can be used to show shielding. Interference beats can also be shown. |
 |
6H 10.40 - Malus's Law:
Demonstrates: Polarization. Description: Second filter detects light polarized by the first filter. |
 |
6H 20.10 - Brewster's Angle:
Demonstrates: Zero light intensity of a reflected ray at a certain angle. Description: Light from projector is reflected to give Brewster's angle. |
 |
6H 30.10 - 1/4 Wavelength Plates:
Demonstrates: Polarization. Description: Two polarizers are set to not allow light through. When plate is inserted between the polarizers light reaches the screen. |
 |
6H 30.40 - Specific Rotation:
Demonstrates: Polarization of light by sugar. Description: Sugar dissolved in water will rotate the plane of polarized light. |
| 6H 35.15 - Birefringence:
Demonstrates: Polarization with crystals. Description: Bird is upside down in the box but the mirror flips image to right side up. |
|
 |
6H 35.20 - Chromatransparency:
Demonstrates: Color change due to polarization. Description: A "transparent" image is placed between two polarizers. |
