Malus law Setup NV6023 is a useful optics setup for
students. It establishes the transverse nature of light and
based on the polarization of light. Incandescent lamp is
used as light source to study the phenomenon by direct
vision as well as for intensity measurement. With the help
of this setup, both the basic laws of polarization -
Brewster’s law and Malus law can be understood easily.
The polarization can be studied by direct vision as well as
by reading the variation of intensity through a digital
ammeter connected across a photodiode.
The verification of Malus law particularly, can be done in
three different ways using: two coaxial polaroids, two
parallel plain glass plates and a combination of glass plate
and polaroid. |
