Testing the state of light polarization (Malus’ law)

1-Explain what the polarization of light is

When filtering confines the electric field vectors to a single plane, the light is said to be
polarized with respect to the propagation direction, and all waves vibrate in the same plane.

2-What is the impact of laser light on a tissue? The tissue heats up quickly due to the
laser pulse's high absorption and strength. Water vaporizes at around 100°C,
causing a fast rise in tissue pressure, which can result in explosive tissue ablation.

--THE EXERCISE PURPOSE:

checking the law of Malus, learning safe working conditions with laser beam, Study the
phenomenon of polarization of light characteristic of laser radiation,.

--Instruments
Optical bench, polarizers, laser - light source.

--Safety remarks:
It's important to remember that dealing with laser light might be hazardous to your eyesight.
Avoid eye contact with laser beams that are either direct or reflected.

--Introduction
= Set the measurement kit according to the scheme we were given:

= Using a laser such as He-Ne,

measure the transmittance
(transmission) of the polarizer
and analyzer based on the angle
of the polarization plane.
= Set the direction of the polarizer and analyzer transmission so that the value of the meter M
is the maximum

=Perform measurement of current value dependence on the angle of rotation of the analyzer
relative to the polarizer.

=Rotate the analyzer holder and record results every 10o (in the range of 0o – 90o). Perform 3
series of measurements for each position of the analyzer
Measurements
+Make a plot of the capacity Iavg=f(cos2α).

+ Peruse from the plot Iavg=f (cos2α) the qualities I0o and I90o and substitute for
recipe:𝐼𝛼 = 𝐼900 + (𝐼0𝑜 − 𝐼90𝑜)cos2𝛼 From the above recipe, for the qualities I0o and I90o
ascertain hypothetical qualities 𝐼𝛼 and put them into Iavg=f(cos2α) chart as reference
bend.𝐼−𝐼𝑚𝑖𝑛. Make a plot of the capacity 𝑓(𝛼) = 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥−𝐼𝑚𝑖𝑛 .

CONCLUSION: As per Malus' regulation, the force of a plane spellbound light is

straightforwardly relative to the square cos of point. This might be found in Figure 1's
practically straight diagram. With the least point - 0o - the current is most grounded. We've
energized the light here, bringing about waves that go in only one manner.
