What is the Faraday effect?

The Faraday effect is the phenomenon where the polarization of light is rotated when it passes through a material in the presence of a strong magnetic field. Discovered by Michael Faraday in 1845, this was the first experimental evidence of the relationship between light and magnetism, supporting the theories of electromagnetic fields and contributing to the field of magneto-optics.
