Principle

In the experiment on polarisation you have already learned that light is an electromagnetic wave which can be restricted in the direction of its vibration - can be polarised. To do this two linear polarisation filters were used. In this experiment you will learn how light is polarised by birefringence.

Benefits

  • Specified for the requirements of the german final secondary-school examinations
  • Especially for secondary schools
  • Quantum and wave optics in a student experiment

Tasks

How can light be 'twisted'? In this experiment you will learn how light is polarised by birefringence.
