Abstract
THE experimental study of an ionized gas in presence of the magnetic field has recently acquired considerable importance in connexion with the ionosphere. Notable investigations have been made by several authors1,2,3,4,5 on the effect of the transverse magnetic field on the refractive index and conductivity of the ionized gas. Very few investigations have, however, been made in the case of the longitudinal magnetic field. Mitra and Ghosh6 have recently observed the magnetic double refraction of ionized air in the presence of longitudinal magnetic field.
