Faraday rotation of a system of thin layers containing a thick layer
Abstract:
An expression for the Faraday rotation produced by a system of thin layers containing a single thick layer is derived for the situation in which the thin layers exhibit fully developed interference fringes, and the fringes caused by the thick layer are completely suppressed. All layers are assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic. The suppression of the fringes produced by the thick layer is assumed to arise from the presence of a frequency distribution in the incident radiation. Restrictions are imposed in order that the result should not depend on the exact details of the frequency distribution.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
