6H50.10sunset with polarizers6H50.10Use a sheet of Polaroid to check the polarization of scattering from a beam of light passing through a tank of water with scattering particles.
6H50.10polarization in the sunset demoOn-2Rotate a Polaroid in the incoming beam or at the top and side of the tank in the sunset demonstration.
6H50.10polarization from a scattering tank35-6.9A mirror at 45 degrees mounted above the scattering tank reflects light scattered up onto the same Polaroid analyzer as the light scattered to the side.
6H50.10the Tyndall experiment35-6.8Shine light in one side of a box with a scattering solution and look at the scattered light out in a perpendicular direction.
6H50.10sunset with polarizersL-128Rotate a Polaroid in the incident beam of the sunset experiment with a mirror oriented at 45 degrees above the tank.

6H50.11scattered laser light36-6.3Rotate a polarized laser about its own axis as it is scattered from a solution.
6H50.20polarized scattering in a beakerL-127A beam of light is directed down into a beaker of water containing scattering centers. Rotate a sheet of Polaroid in front of the beaker or in the beam before it enters the water.
6H50.21scattering tube35-6.7Direct polarized or unpolarized light up a vertical tube filled with a solution containing scattering centers.
