6H10.05generating polarized light35-6.1Lists all methods of generating polarized light.
6H10.06many light demonstrationsTPT 28(7),464Strain patterns, polarization by reflection, pile of plates, scattering, rotary dispersion, the Faraday effect, interference in polarized white light, double refraction, polarizing microscope, double refraction in sticky tape.
6H10.10polaroids on the overheadPIRA 200Show polarization with two sheets of polaroid and a pair of sunglasses on an overhead projector.
6H10.10polaroids on the overhead6H10.10Two sheets of Polaroid and a pair of sunglasses are provided with an overhead projector.
6H10.10polariods on overheadL-122Commercially available polarizing plates are now available. (1930's)
6H10.10polaroid sheets crossed and uncrosseDisc 24-01Two Polaroid sheets are partially overlapped while aligned and at 90 degrees.
6H10.11polaroidsOm-9A beam from an arc lamp is directed through two Polaroid sheets.
6H10.15polarization kitO-8bPolaroid sheets for the overhead plus a lot of other stuff.
6H10.20microwave polarizationPIRA 200Hold a grid of parallel wires in a microwave beam and rotate the grid.
6H10.20microwave polarization6H10.20A "hamburger grill" filter is used to demonstrate polarization from a 12 cm dipole.
6H10.20microwave polarizationOm-1A grid of parallel wires is held in a microwave beam.
6H10.20microwave polarization33-7.11Microwave polarization is shown by rotating the receiver or using a grating.
6H10.20microwave polarizationDisc 24-04A slotted disc is rotated in the microwave beam.
6H10.30polarization - mechanical modelPIRA 500
6H10.30polarization - mechanical modelL-116Two boxes, one a polarizer and the other an analyzer, are built with a center slot that can be oriented either horizontally or vertically. Use with waves on a rubber hose.
6H10.31polarization - mechanical modelL-117A pendulum is hung from a long strut restrained by slack cords. Circular motion of the pendulum will be damped into a line by the motion of the strut.
6H10.40polaroids cut at 45 degreesPIRA 1000
6H10.40polaroids cut at 45 degreesDisc 24-02Cut squares of Polaroid so the axes are at 45 degrees. Now turning one upside down causes cancellation.
