Abstract

When the author took a course in Optics, and came into contact for the first time with the subject of polarized light and double refraction, he found it exceedingly difficult to visualize the various phenomena which took place. The advantage could easily be seen, of mechanical models made to illustrate the passage of light through glass and other crystals. The object of this thesis is to describe the making of mechanical models which are to be used in teaching the subject of polarization of light.
