Target entity: Cotton–Mouton constant
Context triple: [Cotton–Mouton effect, characterizedBy, Cotton–Mouton constant]
  • A. Cotton–Mouton effect
    The Cotton–Mouton effect is a magneto-optical phenomenon in which a transverse magnetic field induces birefringence in an otherwise isotropic medium, causing the polarization of transmitted light to change.
  • B. Curie constant
    The Curie constant is a material-specific proportionality factor that characterizes how a paramagnetic substance’s magnetic susceptibility varies inversely with temperature.
  • C. Josephson constant
    The Josephson constant is a fundamental physical constant that relates frequency to voltage in superconducting Josephson junctions and underpins the quantum standard of voltage.
  • D. Coulomb constant
    The Coulomb constant is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the strength of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges in vacuum.
  • E. Verdet constant
    The Verdet constant is a material-specific coefficient that quantifies how strongly a substance rotates the plane of polarization of light in a magnetic field.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
