How do you find the angle of polarization? What is the formula? Its not in my physics book and I looked online and couldn't find it.
Sorry, I'm still not understanding the question. Are you asking how ethyl alcohol can affect the polarization of light? Are you going to apply an electric field across the ethyl alcohol and measure the birefringence?lilkrazyrae said:the angle of polarization of ethyl alcohol.
The angle of polarization can be found by using a polarizer and rotating it until the intensity of the transmitted light is at its minimum. The angle at which this occurs is the angle of polarization.
The formula for finding the angle of polarization is θ = arctan(Imin/Imax), where θ represents the angle of polarization, Imin is the minimum intensity of the transmitted light, and Imax is the maximum intensity of the transmitted light.
Yes, the angle of polarization can be found for all types of light, including visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet light.
The angle of polarization can be affected by the material the light is passing through, the wavelength of the light, and the angle at which the light is incident on the material.
The angle of polarization is used in a variety of scientific research fields, such as optics, materials science, and astronomy. It can be used to study the properties of materials, determine the composition of substances, and explore the polarization of light from distant objects in space.
