Hyperphysics: Polarization and Interference Colors
written by Carl Rod Nave
This Hyperphysics site from Georgia State University shows what happens when birefringent materials are viewed through crossed polarizers. The production of the colors is explained and is illustrated in a photograph. Links provide information on related polarization concepts.
