Figure 1.Curves used in explaining the Faraday effect. (a) Index of refraction for left-handed circularly polarized light (n-) and right-handed light (n+) in the vicinity of an absorption line split into a doublet (?-, ?+) in a magnetic field. (b) Difference between two curves, n+-n-. Magnetic rotation is proportional to this difference.
