The magneto-optic effect refers to the interaction between magnetic fields and light in materials, leading to changes in the polarization of light as it passes through or reflects off a magnetically influenced substance. This effect arises due to the intrinsic properties of certain materials that can exhibit changes in their optical characteristics when subjected to a magnetic field. ### Key Types of Magneto-Optic Effects: 1. **Faraday Effect**: This phenomenon occurs when light travels along the direction of a magnetic field.
