基于Mathematica的偏振光现象动态仿真

Dynamic Simulations of Polarized Light Phenomena Based on Mathematica

借助于Mathematica软件强大的图形绘制功能、动画合成功能和程序设计功能,基于相关波动光学公式和定律,针对几种典型的偏振光现象做了精确的动态仿真,所开发的系列动画形象生动,非常有助于学生增加对偏振光现象的认识、深化对偏振光规律的理解。本研究为光学课程增添了丰富多彩的教学资源,同时也充分展现了Mathematica软件强大的物理教学资源开发能力。

With the help of the powerful plotting,animating,and programming functionalities of the Mathematica software,and based on relevant formulas and laws of wave optics,several typical polarized light phenomena have been accurately and dynamically simulated.The series of animations developed in this study are vivid,intuitional,and thus very helpful for students to increase their knowledge of polarized light phenomena and deepen their understanding of polarized light laws.This study adds colorful teaching resources to the optics course and also fully demonstrates the powerful capability of the Mathematica software to develop physics teaching resources.
