ht directly above. Had we isolated it better, it may have then been polarized, but under the circumstances, there was too much light involved.Using the polarizer, in method five, we were able to confirm the prediction about scattered light given in the lab manual. The light was dark when the polarizer was at 0 and 180 . When the polarizer was at 90 and 270 , the light coming through was bright. The scattered light is horizontally polarized.In part two, method one, my curve again had larger values than the calculated values. I feel this could have occurred because not only could we have been more precise, however, our light wasn’t the only light in the room and there could have been some interference from the other light sources. For a real light bulb, I would expect the inverse square law to fail at distances because...
