Investigation Polarization

a. Look through a single polarizer.

c. Look through two polarizers.d. Slowly rotate filter near your eye

e. Slowly rotate filter further from eye

Is there any intensity changes?

f. Place a third filter between the two.

Does any light get through?

g. Position pair of filters for minimum light

Does any light get through?

Place the third filter at 45o between two.

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

1. Place a sharpened pencil in each hand and hold them apart at arm's length so that the sharpened ends face each other.

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

Now with both eyes open, bring the pencils slowly toward each other and try to touch the points together.

Describe what happens.

21

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

2. Now try the same thing but do it with only one eye open. Describe what happens.

Is this harder than Step 1? Explain your answer.

22

3. Look around the room with both of your eyes open.

Look at some object in the room and then close one eye.

How far does it move relative to the background?

23

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

Now close the other eye. How far does it move relative to the background?

Describe how it is different from the view with two eyes.

24

4. Hold a pencil at arm's length so that it is vertical.

With your left eye closed, look at the pencil and line it up with some object across the room.

25

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

Without moving the pencil, look at it with your right eye closed.

If not, what is it lined up with now?

Does the pencil still look lined up with the same object?

26

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

5. Do Step 4, but this time have the pencil about 6" from your face.

Did the pencil appear to shift its position more or less than it did in Step 4?

27

IIC1 Why Two Eyes

6. Can you give a reason why two eyes help us to determine distance more easily than one eye?

IIC1 Stereo Glasses

8. Use the stereo viewers to look at the squares.

Should you see three, concentrate on the one in the center.

29

IIC1 Stereo Glasses

Do the square and circle both look the same distance away or does one appear closer?

Should look the same distance away.

30

IIC1 Stereo Glasses

Look at the squares through the viewer.

Does the circle seem to be at a different distance than the square?

If so, is the circle closer / further away?

31

IIC1 Stereo Glasses

10. Predict what you will see.

Does the circle seem to be at a different distance than the square?

If so, is the circle closer / further away?

32

IIC1 Stereo Glasses

11. Can you explain these results in terms of the different view each eye has?

33

1. Read the article titled:

“Can You See If?

2. Look at black and white:

“Magic Eye”.

Can you see the 3-D image?
