Polarizers are commonly integrated into optical systems to decrease glare or increase contrast, or for measuring changes in magnetic fields, temperature, or chemical interactions. Join Brian McCall as he discusses the types of polarization and polarizers.
The breadboard allows you to test circuits without having to solder components into a circuit and without having to use loads of connecting wires! It has little connection holes with stips of conducting metal connecting them underneath (either as 'power rails' or 'terminal strips').
A breadboard (sometimes called protoboard) is essentially the foundation to construct and prototype electronics. A breadboard allows for easy and quick creation of temporary electronic circuits or to carry out experiments with circuit design.
polarised wave oscillates in only one plane (e.g only up and down), only transverse waves can be polarised. Polarisation provides evidence for the nature of transverse waves because polarisation can only occur if a wave’s oscillations are perpendicular to its direction of travel (as they are in transverse waves).

We will introduce how to measure and change the polarization state of light using polarizers and wave plates. You are given a laser of unknown linear polarization, a glass microscope slide (index ~ 1.46), and a mount that can rotate the glass slide about one axis.
Sep 16, 2022 · The quarter-wave plate is typically used to convert linearly polarised light to elliptically polarised light and vice-versa. If the incident light is linearly polarised at angle α, the state of polarisation after the quater wave plate is (cosα isinα) = (1 0 0 i)(cosα sinα).
