Polarisation topics include: Light polarisation, plane polarised light production, nicol prism, polaroids, retardation plates, circular and elliptically polarized light production. Light polarization is a property of transverse waves that defines the geometrical orientation of oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Polarized light is made up of waves that vibrate in a single plane. There are three types of polarized lights: linearly, circularly, and elliptically polarized lights Polarization is an important... Show more
