Demonstration of optical phenomena using pendulumMost of the pendulum demonstrations presented in this class, including light polarization evolution in a birefringent medium adiabatic vs. nonadiabatic processes, etc. polarization ellipse self-rotation were developed by Prof. Boris Ya. Zel'dovich, CREOL School of Optics, University of Central Florida, and some of them are described in:
