This effect is observed in its namesake cell, which consists of a glass cell containing a liquid or gaseous substance. Two capacitor plates are inserted into the cell and light is passed through it at right angles to the electric field. This effect is caused by the fact that certain molecules have electric dipoles, which tend to be oriented by the applied field, and the normal random motions of the molecules tends to destroy this orientation. FTP, identify this effect that describes the ability of certain substances to refract two light waves differently when placed in an electric field.
