This lab activity, presented by John Chamberlain, covers the the polarization of light using filters. In this four-minute video, Chamberlain demonstrates the use of a flashlight, stand, reflective surface, and polarizing filters (including one used as an analyzer) to examine planes of polarization. ...

This lab activity, presented by John Chamberlain, examines the spectrum of colored light as it passes through a diffraction grating. In this four-minute video, Chamberlain demonstrates the use of color filters, stands, a flashlight, and the diffraction grating to identify and modify ranges of color...

This lecture, presented by John Souders, covers the basics of total internal reflection as it relates to the fundamentals of light and laser. In seven minutes, Souders explains the 'critical angle of reflection,' which is "a necessary factor to consider when choosing whether to use dry or oil...

This lab activity, presented by John Chamberlain, covers the basics of windows and mirrors as the two relate to reflections of light. In the 20-minute video, Chamberlain demonstrates equations that help determine reflection, including predicted reflection and actual reflection. Also explored are the...

This lab activity, presented by John Chamberlain, demonstrates the measurement of diffraction and wavelengths from a laser. The first part of this 18-minute video shows the measurement of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern from a pinhole, including the calculation of the needed distance between the...
