http://www.st.northropgrumman.com/synoptics/SiteFiles/docs/PDFs/tgg_verdet_constant.pdf uses Oersteds instead of Teslas - those aren't compatible, surely?

Someone please clarify why the "constant" is chromatic if the effect is not. Kwantus 00:48, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

^Reply: The effect must be chromatic, I'm going to edit that part of the article. As far as I know it will even change sign on passing a strong absorbtion line. For paramagnetic materials 10,000Oe ~ 1 Tesla. Tesla is flux density and Oe is field strength but so long as the permeability is about 1 people then to fix and match. Harmoxe
