  2. Burning glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_glass

    A replica (on a smaller scale) of the burning lens owned by Joseph Priestley, in his laboratory. A burning glass or burning lens is a large convex lens that can concentrate the sun 's rays onto a small area, heating up the area and thus resulting in ignition of the exposed surface. Burning mirrors achieve a similar effect by using reflecting ...

    Figure 1. The light path through a Michelson interferometer.The two light rays with a common source combine at the half-silvered mirror to reach the detector. They may either interfere constructively (strengthening in intensity) if their light waves arrive in phase, or interfere destructively (weakening in intensity) if they arrive out of phase, depending on the exact distances between the ...

    Upside down goggles. Upside down goggles, also known as "invertoscopes" by Russian researchers, [1] are optical instruments that invert the image received by the retinas upside down. They are used to study human visual perception, particularly psychological process of building a visual image in the brain. Objects viewed through such a device ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonymous_hemianopsia

    Homonymous hemianopsia. Hemianopsia, or hemianopia, is a visual field loss on the left or right side of the vertical midline. It can affect one eye but usually affects both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia (or homonymous hemianopia) is hemianopic visual field loss on the same side of both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia occurs because the right half ...

  6. Plane of polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_of_polarization

    The plane of vibration, containing both electric vectors ( E & D) and both propagation vectors, is sometimes called the "plane of polarization" by modern authors. Fresnel's "plane of polarization", traditionally used in optics, is the plane containing the magnetic vectors ( B & H) and the wave-normal. Malus's original "plane of polarization ...

  7. Nicol prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicol_prism

    A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer. It is an optical device made from calcite crystal used to convert ordinary light into plane polarized light . It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection , i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the prism .
