Difference between Birefringence and Iceland spar

Birefringence vs. Iceland spar

Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. Iceland spar, formerly known as Iceland crystal (silfurberg; lit. silver-rock), is a transparent variety of calcite, or crystallized calcium carbonate, originally brought from Iceland, and used in demonstrating the polarization of light (see polarimetry).

Similarities between Birefringence and Iceland spar

Birefringence and Iceland spar have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Augustin-Jean Fresnel, Calcite, Polarimetry, Polarization (waves), Refractive index.

Augustin-Jean Fresnel

Augustin-Jean Fresnel (10 May 178814 July 1827) was a French civil engineer and physicist whose research in optics led to the almost unanimous acceptance of the wave theory of light, excluding any remnant of Newton's corpuscular theory, from the late 1830s until the end of the 19th century.

Polarimetry

Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of transverse waves, most notably electromagnetic waves, such as radio or light waves.

Polarization (waves)

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.

Refractive index

In optics, the refractive index or index of refraction of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium.
