Polarisation of Light by Quater Wave Plate Experiment

Product Description

Polarisation of Light by Quater Wave Plate Experiment

In this experiment a laser beam passes through a polarizer, quarter-wave or half-wave plate, analyzer and finally falls on the detector. The polarization of the emergent light is investigated at different angles between the optic axis of the wave plates and the direction of the incident light. The detector output current is recorded at different analyzer angles. The change of polarization state and axis can be studied from the graph between detector output current and analyzer angle.
