    B List of Verdet Constants?

    I'm replicating the Faraday Effect as a high school experiment. Can anyone direct me to Verdet constants of water, air, olive oil and table salt for lasers of wavelengths 405nm, 532nm, and 650nm? I'm using the constant as a variable using different materials but I cannot find a specific value...

    B Where can I find cuvettes with transparent caps?

    I am a high school student replicating the Faraday Effect. I'm using cuvettes to fill with liquids and air to test the polarization of light. I found cuvettes such as these: The problem is the cap. The cuvettes are to be inserted inside of a solenoid, so the only possible way for them to be...

    What Test Tube/Cylinder is suitable for Faraday Effect?

    I think you will need flat surfaces for the entry and exit windows of your fluid tube. Otherwise the curved surfaces will disrupt the polarization of the light and muddy your results. Also, why are you planning on using distilled water? What is the Verdet constant of distilled water...

    What Test Tube/Cylinder is suitable for Faraday Effect?

    I am a high school student replicating the Faraday Effect. I plan to insert a clear liquid, such as distilled water, into a container that will be located inside of solenoid. I plan on using a test tube, however, I have doubts on whether or not the curved bottom of a test tube will alter the...

    Available materials for Faraday rotation experiment

    I am a high school student experimenting with the Verdet constant of materials and how it affects the polarization of light in magneto-rotation. I have trouble acquiring the proper materials for this experiment. Here is what I have so far: -AC/DC Power Supply -Gaussmeter -Optical laser under...

    Do # of magnets affect the time for a metal"s Curie point?

    I'm doing an experiment regarding Nickel's time for a Curie point. The nickel will be connected to a wire on a pendulum and will be attracted to a neodymium magnet, but it will not be touching it. A candle will be placed in front of the magnet so that when the nickel moves toward the magnet as...

    Schools Faraday rotation experiment for a high school student?

    Is it possible to replicate the Faraday rotation experiment for a high school junior? I am in honors physics (IB) and have been taught about waves, electromagnetism, energy transfers, etc. My physics teacher will guide me if I choose to do this. Is the experiment too ambitious?

    Schools Physics Extended Essay Topics (Electricity/Circuits/etc.)

    I am an IB student and I want to write a 4000 word paper on Physics. I want to incorporate circuits into the paper with the foundation of my topic discussing electric fields/electric force/anything of this sort. I need advice on what kinds of topics can be suitable to write 4000 words on. I am...

    How to determine the sign of currents in complex circuits?

    I apologize for the errors. I adjusted the errors found above to make it easier to follow: I1=I2+I3. For the first loop, I found the equation: -6+220*I1+2100*I2=0 For the second loop, I found: 4500*I3-2100*I2=0 Here is my work: -6 + 220(I2 + I3) + 2100*I2=0 -6 + 220*I2 + 220*I3+2100*I2=0...

    How to determine the sign of currents in complex circuits?

    Homework Statement A combination circuit powered by a 6.0 V battery is shown. What is the total current through this circuit? I don't know how to determine where the signs go, for example if the right side of a resistor is positive or the left side is positive Homework Equations What is the...
