Waves and Optics
Brewster’s Angle Experiment
Brewster’s Angle ExperimentThe complete solution for measuring the value of Brewster’s angle when light is partially polarized when reflected off a nonconducting surface. This complete solution is designed for use with PASCO Capstone Software.
Interference and Diffraction – Wireless
Interference and Diffraction – WirelessInterference and diffraction patterns from laser light passing through various single-slits and multiple-slits are scanned and plotted in real time. These patterns are then examined for similarities and differences.
Interference and Diffraction of Light Experiment
Interference and Diffraction of Light ExperimentThe complete solution for examining interference and diffraction patterns from laser light passing through various single-slits and multiple-slits.
Light Intensity vs. Distance Experiment
Light Intensity vs. Distance ExperimentComplete solution to measure light intensity as a function of distance.
Polarization Experiment
Polarization ExperimentThe complete solution for verifying Malus’ Law of Polarization.
Reflection and Refraction
Reflection and RefractionStudent experiment exploring Snell’s Law and the Law of Reflection.
Sound of Vibrating Strings Experiment
Sound of Vibrating Strings ExperimentExamine how tension and string length affect the sound of the vibrating string.
Telescope/Microscope
Telescope/MicroscopeStudent experiment using an optics bench to build telescopes for use with a viewing screen.
Vibrating Strings Experiment
Vibrating Strings ExperimentThe complete solution for studying standing waves driven by a variable frequency driver.
