verdet constant

verdet constant
\\ˌvərˈdā-\ noun
Usage: usually capitalized V
Etymology: after Marcel Emile Verdet died 1866 French mathematician
: a constant that expresses the effect of a magnetic field in rotating the plane of polarization of plane polarized light when it traverses a transparent substance placed in the field and that is equal to the rotation produced in one centimeter length of the substance by a magnetic field of one gauss
