Polarization of Light

UFUG 1502

UFUG 1504

Location:

PL2 Newton Lab

Instructor:

Zehao, Pan

Instructions:

In this experiment, which focuses on the transverse wave nature of light, you will record the polarized light intensity and verify Malus' Law.
For honor students, you will further your understanding of the waveplate principle, learn how elliptically polarized light is produced, and master the conversion of different polarization states.

Equipment:

LED light source、polarizer、wave plate、reflector、polarization tester、power meter and breadboard.
