| Faraday effect | Business | A magneto-optic effect in which the polarization plane of an electromagnetic wave is rotated under the influence of a magnetic field parallel to the direction of propagation. Note: The Faraday effect may be used to modulate a lightwave. (references) | |
| Faraday effect | Electrical Engineering | A phenomenon of rotation about the direction of propagation of the electric flux density vector of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave as it passes through a gyromagnetic medium subjected to any magnetostatic field having a component along the direction of propagation. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Faraday effect | Physics | Magneto-optical effect in which an applied magnetic field induces a double refraction in which the angle of rotation is proportional to the magnetic field strength. Source: European Union. (references) | |
