Magnetic field, polarized light

A very weak peak at 348 mn is the 4 origin. Since the upper state here has two quanta of v, its vibrational syimnetry is A and the vibronic syimnetry is so it is forbidden by electric dipole selection rules. It is actually observed here due to a magnetic dipole transition [21]. By magnetic dipole selection rules the A2- A, electronic transition is allowed for light with its magnetic field polarized in the z direction. It is seen here as having about 1 % of the intensity of the syimnetry-forbidden electric dipole transition made allowed by... 

The atoms are irradiated with light that is polarized at right angles to the external magnetic field. Such light will induce and a transitions... 

In electronic and vibrational spectroscopy we can neglect both molecular dimensions relative to the wavelength and the effects of the magnetic field of light relative to those of its electric field (electric dipole approximation). Then, the interaction of a single l7-polarized photon with a molecule is described by the projection of the electric dipole moment vector operator M (Table 3) into eP (photon creation) or eP (photon annihilation). Creation... 

Iodine vapor is characterized by the familiar violet color and by its unusually high specific gravity, approximately nine times that of air. The vapor is made up of diatomic molecules at low temperatures at moderately elevated temperatures, dissociation becomes appreciable. The concentration of monoatomic molecules, for example, is 1.4% at 600°C and 101.3 kPa (1 atm) total pressure. Iodine is fluorescent at low pressures and rotates the plane of polarized light when placed in a magnetic field. It is also thermoluminescent, emitting visible light when heated at 500°C or higher. 

FIGURE 27.23 Electric (E) and magnetic (H) vectors in a linearly polarized light wave. The plane of polarization contains the electric field vectors in space. At a fixed focation, the tip of the electric vector traces a straight line as a function of time. (From Muller, 1973, with permission from Wiley-VCH.)... 

When ordinary light is passed through a polarizer, the polarizer interacts with the electric field so that the electric field of the light emerges from the polarizer (and the magnetic field perpendicular to it) is oscillating only in one plane.
