SUMMARY

This discussion revolves around the principles of polarimetry, specifically addressing the effects of isomers on light frequency, speed, wavelength, and amplitude. It is established that when light passes through an isomer, its frequency changes, which in turn affects its speed and wavelength. The discussion also touches on the resultant vector when altering the intersection point of two perpendicular waves, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts in the context of polarimetry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of light properties, including frequency, speed, wavelength, and amplitude.
  • Familiarity with the principles of polarimetry.
  • Basic knowledge of wave interference and vector addition.
  • Concept of isomers and their effects on light behavior.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between frequency and wavelength in light, particularly in polarimetric contexts.
  • Study the effects of isomers on light properties using specific examples.
  • Learn about vector addition in wave mechanics, focusing on perpendicular wave interactions.
  • Explore advanced polarimetry techniques and their applications in scientific research.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, optical engineering, and anyone interested in the detailed study of light behavior and polarimetry applications.

i just saw a post which explain the principle of polarimetry here:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=52941

and i got few questions on my head:

movies said: frequency of the light is changed when pass through the isomer.
so, how do the speed of light, and wavelength of light changed? and how about amplitude?

after changing the intersecting point of 2 perpendicular wave, how is the resultant vector look like?

thanks
