2.      The Mechanical Polarizer (analogy)
3.       The Construction and Axis of Polarizers
4.       The Triple Polarizer
5.       Light waves as vectors
6.       LCD Screens
7.       Circular Polarization
8.       Stress in Plastics, Glass, & Packaging tape
9.       Prince Rupert’s Drop
10.   Reflected Glare
11.   Glare on surfaces
12.   Polarized Sun Glasses
13.   The Polarized Sky
14.   3d Glasses
15.   Malus’ Law (Angle vs Intensity)
16.   Brewster’s Angle
17.   The Faraday Effect
18.   The Verdet Constant
19.   Microwave & Radio Polarization
20.   Projector Polarization

This video was created as part of the AAPT Films Series.  
The series is written, directed, and hosted by James Lincoln.
