Physics Experiments

Hands-on experiments demonstrating fundamental physics principles. Each experiment includes materials with specific quantities, step-by-step procedures, the underlying science, and context.

Optics

• Polarized Light and the Three-Polarizer Paradox - Two crossed polarizers block all light; adding a third lets some back through

Electrostatics

• Electric Pearl Chains - Steel ball bearings in castor oil spontaneously form chains aligned with a high-voltage electric field
