Concept information
Preferred term
Faraday effect
Definition
- The rotation of the plane of polarization experienced by a beam of linearly polarized radiation when the radiation passes through a material containing a magnetic field with a component in the direction of propagation. This effect occurs in H II regions in which a magnetic field causes a change in the polarized waves passing through. Same as Faraday effect. (An Etymological Dictionary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, by M. Heydari-Malayeri, https://dictionary.obspm.fr/index.php?showAll=1&formSearchTextfield=Faraday+rotation)
