The Polarization of Light - SENIOR PHYSICS - This physics lesson package discusses diffraction grating and compares diffraction grating with double-slit examples. The lesson also looks at the grating equation, types of diffraction grating, spectroscopes, and spectral analysis. It is geared toward students who are in high school physics - senior.

In order, the lesson covers:

• Diffraction Grating Analysis
• Diffraction Grating vs. Double Slit
• Double vs. Multi slit
• The Grating Equation
• Types of Diffraction Grating
• Light source and grating
• Spectroscope
• Application – Spectral Analysis
• Application – DVDs and CDs

Included in the lesson package:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• One embedded video
• Student lesson handout

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Within the unit - Light and Waves you can find the following lesson packages:

Lesson 1 - Light - Properties and Production

Lesson 2 - The Wave Nature of Light

Lesson 3 - Diffraction and interference of waves

Lesson 4 - The Polarization of Light

Lesson 5 - Diffraction Grating

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
