Abstract
THE effect of light on paramagnetic susceptibilities of the ions of the iron group has already been reported by Bose and Raha1. They have shown how the l-component of the magnetic moment, which is more or less quenched in these ions, is partially freed on exposure to light. We have since performed the corresponding experiment for some diamagnetics in a Curie-Cheneveau balance with a fine phosphor-bronze suspension.
