Lindsay Panzer PHYS 2025 Lab 11 Partner: Cassandra Nelson Experiment 1: A) Record the response voltage for each configuration. Barrier Transmitted Signal (V) No Barrier 1.950 Metal Reflector -0.017 Partial Reflector 0.6 Polarizer (Horizontal Gridlines) 0.509 Polarizer (Vertical Gridlines) 0 B) Record the response voltage for each configuration. Reflector Reflected Signal (V) Metal Reflector 2.1 No Reflector 0 Polarizer Reflector 0.16 Polarizer (Horizontal Gridlines) 0.07 Polarizer (Vertical Gridlines) 0.06 Experiment 2: A) What happened when a third polarizer was inserted at a 45 angle between two already perpendicular polarizers? - The light does not go through with the two polarizers but, when you insert the third polarizer at the 45 angle you will be able to see through them. Experiment 3: A) Find the Brewster angle. θ B = ¿ - 55 B) Is the reflected light polarized? - Yes
C) Using the Brewster angle, determine the index of refraction of acrylic. n= - Tan55 = 1.42 Experiment 4: A) What happened to the text when it was viewed through the calcite? - The calcite creates two identical images. B) What happened as you rotated the polarizer? - The polarizer will focus on one text image instead of the other. Experiment 5: A) What happened when you placed the ruler between the polarizers? - When you rotate the polarizer to 45 you will observe colorful rays.
