Compare calculators

Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.

Polarization Calculator

Calculate the intensity of light transmitted through a polarizer and analyzer using Malus's Law. Perfect for optics students and engineers designing polarized optical systems.

Magnification Calculator

Compute the optical magnification of a lens or mirror by comparing the image height to the object height. Use it to determine whether a lens enlarges, reduces, or inverts an object.

Image Height (cm)

Object Height (cm)
