We have now an instrument which also gives rays of polarized light.
With Iceland spar, one unpolarized ray of light divides on entering it into two rays of polarized light, by reason of its power of double refraction, and the vibrations are perpendicular to one another in the two emerging rays.
Polarized light is light that performs its motions continually in one mode or direction.
The oil of lemons presents a very great analogy with that of oil of turpentine, so far as regards its transformations, and its power of rotating a ray of polarized light.
Biot, the camphor formed by the oil of lemons does not exercise any action on polarized light, whilst the oil of lemons itself rotates a ray to the right.
Few objects are more beautiful to look upon than this, when viewed by a microscope with the aid of polarized light.
Having the same color; connecting parts having the same color, as lines drawn through certain points in experiments on the chromatic effects of polarized light in crystals.
It resembles dextrose, but rotates the plane of polarized light further to the right and possesses a lower cupric oxide reducing power.
An artificial variety is a derivative of succinic acid, but has no action on polarized light, and thus malic acid is a remarkable case of physical isomerism.
Faraday had for a long time kept in view the possibility of using a ray of polarized light as a means of investigating the condition of transparent bodies when acted on by electric and magnetic forces.
Instead of cutting our grain of corn into slices and subjecting it to the action of polarized light, let us place it in the earth and subject it to a certain degree of warmth.
When it is examined by polarized light, chromatic phenomena similar to those noticed in crystals are observed.

Action of Crystals on Polarized Light: the Nicol Prism.
If, at the sacrifice of half the light, we could abolish one of these, the other would place at our disposal a beam of polarized light, incomparably stronger than any attainable from tourmaline.
The transmitted beam contains a quantity of polarized light equal to the reflected beam; but this is only a fraction of the whole transmitted light.
A pencil of polarized light, as demonstrated by Signori Macaluzo and Corbino, undergoes, in a magnetic field, modifications with regard to absorption and speed of propagation.
Fresnel founded his theory of double refraction and reflexion by transparent surfaces, on the hypothesis that the vibration of a ray of polarized light is perpendicular to the plane of polarization.
It is thus made evident that these bodies act on polarized light in the manner of a crystal.
Footnote 22: That is to say, he reflected the beam ofpolarized light by a mirror placed at that angle.
At a more advanced stage of growth these bodies react on polarized light, thus possessing the internal structure of true crystals; they are then called "microlites.
