Abstract
In Mr. Larmor’s Brit. Assoc. Report (1893) on the Action of Magnetism on Light, it is pointed out (§ 20) that there are two ways in which the magnetic field may affect the phenomena of light propagation, and two corresponding types of magneto-optic theory. It is the object of the present paper to take the fundamental equations of the second type of theory in a general form on the lines of Mr. Larmor’s recent papers on Electrodynamics, and to develop them so as to obtain the solutions of the problems of magnetic reflection and of transmission through magnetised films; the formulae so obtained are compared with the available experimental results, and the agreement of the theory with experiment thus put to the test.
