(Munch, chomp, burp,...)
The following is a footnote from _Radiation_and_Optics_
by John M. Stone, but it gives a simple explaination:
"There is also a Kerr magneto-optic effect involving a
change in polarization of a wave reflected from an iron
mirror when the iron is magnetized."
I hope this is useful.
