Faraday effect

Article No: P2260101

The angle of rotation of the polarization- plane of plane polarised light through a flint glass rod is found to be a linear function of the product of the mean flux-densitiy and the length of the optical medium. The factor of proportionally, called Verdet's constant, is investigated as a function of the wavelength and the optical medium.
