Measurements of the Wave Length Dependence of Polarization

Abstract

Four types of wave length dependence of polarization are discussed. The first type, encountered in the solar system, are based on a series of color - phase and polarization - phase observations for seven small regions of the lunar surface. The second type of wave length dependence is that found for interstellar polarization. The third type of wave length dependence is that found in reflection nebulae NGC 7023 and NGC 2068. A fourth type of wave length dependence was found by Ohman for the solar corona.
