| Popis: | In the year 1845 Faraday discovered that if plane polarized light passes through certain media, and these media be acted on by a sufficiently powerful magnetic force, the plane of polarization is rotated. About the year 1853 M. Verdet commenced a long and exhaustive examination of the subject, and his first result (published ‘Ann. de Chimie et de Phys.’ 3 série, tom. xli.) was that, for any given magnet and medium, “the ratio between the strength of the magnet and the amount of rotation is constant”. The object of the present research is to determine this constant in absolute measure—that is, in the C. G. S. system. |
