23 Jun99 Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyPhysics Junior Physics Laboratory: Experiment #8 THE FARADAY EFFECTPURPOSEThe purpose of this experiment is to observe the EFFECT of a magnetic field on thetransmission of linearly polarized light through a dispersive medium , to measure the Verdetconstant of dense flint glass at several wavelengths, and to test the validity of the classical theory ofmagnetic circular birefringence, known as the FARADAY QUESTIONS1. Describe the following phenomena:linear birefringenceoptical activitymagnetic circular birefringence2.
between optics and electromagnetism, and leads to an evaluation of the effective ratio of charge to mass of the particles in flint glass with which light most strongly interacts, i.e., electrons. ... (cgs units) − m 2 r = − kr + Eq + Bq r/c , (5) where k is the "spring constant" of the restraining force. For left circularly polarized light
