Macaulay, is a helpful resource for this activity. The light generated by some sources, including the Advanced Light Source (ALS), is polarized. Based on what you know about wiggling electrons and how they generate light, why do you think light from the ALS comes out polarized? Why would this be useful to the scientists doing experiments there? Find out about some scientific experiments best performed using polarized light.
