Free app applications are used to remodel a general physics experiment, the law of Malus. To clarify the properties of the polarized light, traditionally a light sensor and polarizers are required to demonstrate the Malus' law. Here the light sensor is replaced by a smartphone with app applications, Light Meter and Physics Toolbox Light Meter. Owing to the simple and cheap experimental setup, lectures can demonstrate the transverse nature of polarized light more easily. Students can also verify the Malus's law quantitatively based on the measured intensity of light.
