GALINDO, S.  and  CRUZ, S.. Aparato para la medición del efecto Faraday. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2002, vol.48, n.5, pp.475-484. ISSN 0035-001X.

A Faraday rotation demonstration apparatus for an undergraduate laboratory is described. The main features of the instrument are: The use of light emitting diodes as the monochromatic source, the employment of a cooling water system to keep the sample and the magnetic field coil at a constant temperature, and the use of the half shadow effect for angular rotation measurements. The apparatus can be built from scraps.

Keywords : Faraday effect; magneto-optical effects; educational aids.
