Description:

1-2 inches of corn syrup is put in beaker on overhead. One polarizing sheet is placed over the beaker; the other is slowly rotated over it. As the plane of polarization of the light entering the solution rotates, rotational dispersion occurs and different colors are seen.

Location:

  • Syrup: M-2
  • Polarizers: Drawer 118
