---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Verdet was one of the outstanding physics teachers of mi-nineteenth-century France, holding professorships at the Ecole normale supérieure, the Ecole Polytechnique and the Faculté des sciences in Paris. He introduced into the French scientific world the thermodynamics of Joule, Clausius, Helmholtz and William Thompson and conducted important experiments on the effects of a magnetic field on plane-polarized light. Verdet educated his colleagues as well as his students. French physicists of his time were ignorant of much of the research going on outside their country, so Verdet undertook to publish abstracts of the most important articles appearing in foreing journals. From 1852 to 1864 every volume of the Annales de chimie contained ten or more of this synopses... In 1864/1865 he taught the new thermodynamics and the notes from his course were compiled by two students and published as La théorie mécanique de la chaleur, a textbook which has become a classic... His early research included a series of experiments on electromagnetic induction and a theoretical treatise on the image-forming power of lenses. In his major effort Verdet investigated the phenomenon now known as the "Faraday effect"... He studied the dependence of the Faraday effect on the strength of the magnet causing the rotation, the medium in which the light is traveling, and the color of the light. he found that the magnetic power of rotation was directly proportional to the square of the wavelengh of the light and related the index of refraction of the material. In recognition of the importance of this work a measure of the power of magnetic rotation was named "Verdet's constant". His entire scientific output is collected in Oeuvres de Verdet, 8 vols (Paris 1868/1872) which includes all his scientific papers and the lecture notes from his courses".(DSB XIII pp. 614/615)**5176/L3/L7AR
