Faraday Effect in Gases and Vapors II*

Abstract

Continuing the work reported in the first paper in this series, Verdet constants have been measured over the spectral range 3635 A to 9875 A for 15 more gases. These include 3 noble gases, 7 hydrocarbons, and 5 other gases. For comparison purposes and also because of a 1% error in the original measurements, the 7 gases first reported on are also listed here.
