  • hey guys, dont you know what is the plane of polarization of a laptop screen? is it horizontal? (i have classic toshiba comp and need to know the plane of polarization)

  • AWESOME VIDEO!!

  • cool! interesting demo

  • nice video ;)

    but there is a mistake in CPL part.. when you towards the 1/4 waveplane to your screen, we should get no change in light intensity, just opposite your explaination.

  • @Pastbyer thanks all, no i didn't have to take apart the camera. camera shops sell polarizing filters for a few bucks.

  • thank you for this video. It illustrates Birefringence very well.

  • Cool... *adds to shopping list*

  • Hey, cool video! Did you have to dismantle your camera to get the filter out?
