| Abstract Title: |
Fundamental Studies in Polarization |
| Abstract: |
Polarization is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. When light travels in free space it typically propagates as a transverse wave. Polarization occurs perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. The phenomena of polarization may be demonstrated in a series of experiments. Specific polarization effects in optical systems can be demonstrated with simple experiments. Polarization effects in reflection, refraction, scattering, circular polarization, and birefringence may be demonstrated. |
