    Laurent's half-shade polarimeter is used to determine:

  2. 02

    Which light source is typically used in a polarimeter experiment?

  3. 03

    The half-shade device in the polarimeter is made using:

  4. 04

    The quartz half of the half-shade plate acts as a:

  5. 05

    In the half-shade device, the two halves of the field of view appear equally illuminated (matched) when the analyzer's principal plane is:

  6. 06

    Biot's law relating specific rotation to the observed angle of rotation is [α] = θ / (l × c). Here l represents:

  7. 07

    A substance that rotates the plane of polarized light clockwise, as seen by an observer facing the incoming light, is called:

Graphics acceleration is off 3D simulations can’t run here yet Graphics acceleration is on

3D simulations run slower without it. Turning it on is recommended.

The simulations need WebGL 2, which isn’t available in this browser right now. Turning on hardware acceleration usually brings it back; if not, update the browser or the graphics driver.

3D simulations are running with hardware acceleration. Nothing to change.

On a college lab computer this setting may be locked. If so, ask the lab in-charge.
