Hyperphysics - Nuclear Scattering Cross Section
Theory of nuclear scattering cross section and relation to Rutherford's gold foil experiment.
Introduction to Optical Tweezers
An explanation of how optical tweezers work, and how to set up and calibrate your own. A quite detailed but clear introduction to this use of lasers.
Polarization
This page explain what polarisation is, and how light can be polarised using filters, reflection, refraction or scattering.
Polarizers
A practical demonstration of polarization in which unpolarized red light is passed through a optical bench
Why the sky is blue
A brief and detailed explanation of why the sky is blue, touching on Rayleigh scattering, the wavelength of light and how our eyes work.
