DCS #DEMONSTRATIONREFERENCEABSTRACT
6H30.00Circular Polarization
6H30.01circular polarization modelAJP 51(1),91One vector moves along with a fixed orientation in space while five others, at quarter wavelengths, rotate.
6H30.10three PolaroidsPIRA 500
6H30.10three polaroids6H30.10Three sheets of Polaroid are provided with an overhead projector.
6H30.10rotation by polarizing filterDisc 24-03Stick a third sheet between crossed Polaroids
6H30.30barber polePIRA 500
6H30.30barber pole35-6.6A beam of polarized light is rotated when directed up a vertical tube filled with sugar solution.
6H30.30barber poleL-129Show a beam of polarized light up through a tube with a sugar solution and scattering centers. The beam rotates and colors are separated.
6H30.30barbershop sugar tubeDisc 24-14Illuminate a tube of corn syrup from the bottom. Insert and rotate a Polaroid filter between the light and tube.
6H30.35laser and quinine sulfateAJP 39(12),1536Pass a polarized laser beam through a cylinder filled with a quinine sulfate solution.
6H30.40Karo syrupPIRA 200Insert a tube of liquid sugar between crossed polaroids.
6H30.40karo syrup tankAJP 43(11),939Fill an aquarium with karo syrup and insert glass objects - prism, block, balls. View the collection through motorized crossed Polaroids
6H30.40karo syrupOm-16Place a bottle of Karo syrup between crossed Polaroids
6H30.40rotation by sugar solutionL-130Insert a tube of sugar solution between crossed Polaroids
6H30.40optical activity in corn syrupDisc 24-11A bottle of corn syrup between Polaroids, three overlapping containers of equal thickness between Polaroids
6H30.41Karo syrup prismOm-19Colors change as one Polaroid is rotated in a Karo syrup prism between crossed Polaroids
6H30.42three tanks35-6.5Compare the rotation of plane polarized light in tanks containing sugar solution, turpentine, and water.
6H30.45quartz "biplate"L-131A quartz "biplate" is set between two crossed Polaroids at 45 degrees, then a tube of sugar solution is also inserted and rotated.
6H30.60?AJP 50(11),1051?
6H30.70microwave optical rotationPIRA 1000
6H30.70microwave optical activity33-7.16A styrofoam box contains 1200 coils of wire aligned in an array and wound in the same sense will rotate microwave radiation.
6H30.71microwave optical rotationAJP 39(8),920A microwave analog of optical rotation in cholesteric liquid crystals. Plastic sheets with small parallel wires are stacked so the wires on successive layers vary in a screw type fashion.
6H30.80Faraday rotationPIRA 1000
6H30.80Faraday rotationL-132Polarized light is passed through holes in an electromagnet bored parallel with the magnetic field. a specimen is placed in the magnet and the rotation is determined when the magnet is energized.
6H30.81Faraday rotationL-133Insert a partially filled glass container of Halowax or carbon tetrachloride into the core of a solenoid between crossed Polaroids
6H30.82rotation by magnetic field35-6.18A CS2 cell placed in a solenoid rotates the plane of polarization on light.
