711) for demonstrating objectively the rotation of the plane of polarisation of light by an optically active liquid such as a solution of sugar. The method was an ingenious application of Tyndall ...

WE now proceed to the consideration of the colours produced by plates of crystal when submitted to the action of polarised light ... are those in which the plane of vibration of the ordinary ...

Abstract: The characteristics of a reflected spherical wave at a free surface are investigated by numerical methods; in particular, the polarization angles and amplitude coefficients of a reflected ...

Abstract: Beckmann's study of the effect on polarization of reflection from a tilted plane is modified and extended to the case of partial polarization. The approach used is simpler than Beckmann's ...

Reliably measuring the polarization state of light is crucial for various technological ... In addition, it is compatible with focal plane arrays, thus it could pave the way for more interesting ...

This oscillation is not restricted to one plane either. Circular polarization occurs when light waves have electric fields that follow a spiral trajectory along the direction of propagation.
