Apparatus Title: A Kaleidoscope Using Polarization Colors
Abstract (40-50 words)
A Film-Can
Kaleidoscope has been modified to use cellophane tape between polarizers,
rather than bits of colored gels, to create the patches of color that are
reflected in the mirrors. This is intended
as an individual, hand-held device that students can use to explore
polarization colors.
