How can light be "distorted"?

Article no: P1419701

Principle

In the experiment on polarisation you have already learned that light is an electromagnetic wave which can be restricted in the direction of its vibration - can be polarised. To do this two linear polarisation filters were used. In this experiment you will learn how light is polarised by birefringence.

Benefits

Specified for the requirements of the german final secondary-school examinations
Especially for secondary schools
Quantum and wave optics in a student experiment

Tasks

How can light be 'twisted'? In this experiment you will learn how light is polarised by birefringence.
