SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the Verdet constants for various materials, specifically water, air, olive oil, and table salt, at laser wavelengths of 405nm, 532nm, and 650nm. Users are directed to multiple resources, including academic papers and online databases, to find specific values and methods for determining these constants. Notable references include the "Verdet Constant Measurement of Olive Oil for Magnetic Field Sensor" and various links to scientific literature that provide empirical data and methodologies for calculating Verdet constants.

PREREQUISITES

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 for them. Any advice is appreciated.

Not my field but a bit of googling found papers with some data.

Water: May need to read of from graphs or plot your own and interpolate.
