On 13 September 1845, English chemist Michael Faraday unveiled a revolutionary discovery that would forever alter the course of physics—his observation that a magnetic field could influence polarised light.
Known as the "Faraday Effect," this phenomenon demonstrated the direct relationship between magnetism and light, laying the groundwork for the development of electromagnetism.
Faraday’s meticulous experiments provided a pivotal insight into the nature of light and its interaction with magnetic fields, setting the stage for future breakthroughs in both theoretical and applied sciences.
His work marked a new chapter in the exploration of the forces that govern our universe.
