You could always make your own mount with a cheap camera polarising filter (linear not circular option) and use a circular, school type, plastic protractor. If you are into DIY you can use plastic PVC plumbing tubing. There is a wide selection of fittings that would allow the tube to be mounted on a board or a laboratory clamp stand. That sort of arrangement would cost the sort of money you're talking about and could give very adequate results with angle measurement accuracy of down to 1 degree, depending on how firm your arrangement is.tryingtolearn1 said:

You can do many elementary experiments in Physics without "quality" equipment. School physics exists on what can be snobbishly called rubbish. It can be a terrible waste of money to go for 'the best' if you don't plan to make a lifetime study of a topic.Dr Transport said:
An apparatus for a polarization filter rotator dial is a scientific instrument used to rotate a polarizing filter in order to control the direction of polarized light passing through it. The dial allows for precise and adjustable rotation of the filter, making it a useful tool in various scientific experiments and studies.
A polarization filter rotator dial typically consists of a circular dial with a polarizing filter attached to it. The dial can be rotated to change the orientation of the filter, which in turn changes the direction of polarized light passing through it. This allows for the manipulation and control of polarized light in scientific experiments.
A polarization filter rotator dial is commonly used in various fields of science, such as physics, optics, and biology. It can be used in experiments involving polarized light, such as studying the properties of light, analyzing the structure of materials, and observing biological samples under polarized light.
The accuracy of a polarization filter rotator dial depends on the quality and precision of the instrument. However, most dials are designed to provide precise and adjustable rotation of the filter, making them highly accurate for scientific experiments.
Yes, a polarization filter rotator dial is typically designed to be compatible with various types of polarizing filters, such as linear, circular, and elliptical polarizers. This allows for flexibility and versatility in scientific experiments that require different types of polarized light.
