 TABLE 481. - Values of Eerr's Constant.*

Du Bois has shown that the rotation of the major axis of vibration of radiations normally reflected from a magnet is 

 algebraically equal to the normal component of magnetization multiplied into a constant K. He calls this con- 

 stant K, Kerr's constant for the magnetized substance forming the magnet.
