PHYS 5310-001: Optics

• Brewster's angle

• metallic mirror

• Total Internal Reflection
  (will use Ray Optics Kit "half disk")

•  video  - Ray Optics Kit

• Yellow light hologram setup

• Michelson Interferometer

• Michelson Interferometer
  (White Light version. For our apparatus, move "window" to red laser "input" and send white light into usual red laser "output" at beam splitter. Micrometer setting should be around 13.86.)

• Michelson Interferometer
  (white light version w/ micrometer setting = 13.75 the frosted glass is at the red laser input and we look at white light at unobstructed output by eye and camera)

• I’ll need three polarizers, a quarter-wave plate, a half-wave plate, a light source, and a target. I have the 1 m optical rail in the classroom, components I could mount on that would be convenient. A laser would be fine for the light source if it’s convenient, then I can just use the wall as a target with 30cm lens to blow up spot. I had to give two lambda/4 plates since I didn't have 1/2 wave.
