Introduction
The results show that the rotation of the turntable is comfortable and the reading is accurate;
Experiments
1. Verification of Malus's Law
2. Function study of a half-wave plate
3. Function study of a quarter-wave plate: circularly and elliptically polarized light
4. Measurement of Brewster's angle of a glass plate
5. Measurement of refractive index of a glass block
6. Observation of polarization rotation of light going through a glucose solution
7. Measurement of specific rotatory power of a glucose solution
8. Measurement of concentration of a glucose solution sample
