Faraday effect.

Optically inactive substances acquire the ability of rotating the plane of polarization of light when they are subjected to a magnetic field, parallel to propagation direction. Michael Faraday discovered this effect and hence it is called Faraday effect. This effect occurs in most optically transparent dielectric materials (including liquids) when they are subject to strong magnetic fields.
