Speed of Light Measurement Utilizing Octagonal
... The most obvious of future examinations is simple error reduction n the uncertainty in the speed of light. One should be able to obtain very precise results from simply lengthening the optical path length, the focal length of the lens, and increasing the rotational frequency. The main obstacle in th ...

... goes to zero at some angle between 0° and 90°, the reflected light at that angle is linearly polarized with its electric field vectors perpendicular to the plane of incidence. The angle at which this occurs is called the polarizing angle or the Brewster angle. At other angles the reflected light is ...

Faraday Optical Rotation
... The optical rotation of light by a refractive medium in a magnetic field was first discovered by Michael Faraday1 in 1845. The effect, like optical rotation induced by organic molecules, is due to circular birefringence, the difference in propagation velocities for light of opposite circular polariz ...
