FARADAY EFFECT EXPERIMENT WITH HALOGEN LIGHT SOURCE

Item Code : SK063

Principle and Working:

If a transparent isotropic material is placed in a strong magnetic field and linearly polarized light is transmitted in the direction of the magnetic field, the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light rotates by an angle.

ΔØ=V.L.B


The angle of rotation (Ø) of plane polarized light is proportional to the length (L), magnetic field (B) and Verdet’s constant (V).
