| 6H50.10 | sunset with polarizers | PIRA 500 | |
| 6H50.10 | sunset with polarizers | 6H50.10 | Use
a sheet of Polaroid to check the polarization of scattering from a beam of
light passing through a tank of water with scattering particles. |
| 6H50.10 | polarization in the sunset demo | On-2 | Rotate a Polaroid in the incoming beam or at the top and side of the tank in the sunset demonstration. |
| 6H50.10 | polarization from a scattering tank | 35-6.9 | A
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. |
| 6H50.10 | the Tyndall experiment | 35-6.8 | Shine light in one side of a box with a scattering solution and look at the scattered light out in a perpendicular direction. |
| 6H50.10 | sunset with polarizers | L-128 | Rotate a Polaroid in the incident beam of the sunset experiment with a mirror oriented at 45 degrees above the tank. |
| 6H50.10 | polarization by scattering | Disc 24-07 | Add milk to water and show polarization of light scattered from a beam. |
| 6H50.11 | scattered laser light | 36-6.3 | Rotate a polarized laser about its own axis as it is scattered from a solution. |
| 6H50.20 | polarized scattering in a beaker | L-127 | A
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. |
| 6H50.21 | scattering tube | 35-6.7 | Direct polarized or unpolarized light up a vertical tube filled with a solution containing scattering centers. |
| 6H50.30 | depolarization by diffuse reflection | PIRA 1000 | |
| 6H50.30 | depolarization by diffuse reflection | 35-6.10 | Reflect a beam of polarized light off a chalk surface through a Polaroid analyzer. |
| 6H50.90 | Haidinger's brush | PIRA 1000 | |
| 6H50.90 | Haidinger's brush | TPT 28(9),598 | Train yourself to detect polarized light with the naked eye. Most people can. |
