Description
We investigate the validity of the Stokes V amplitude ratio as an indicator of the magnetic field strength in solar inter-network regions with the help ofMHD simulations. We show that the Stokes V amplitude ratio of the Fe I 15652-15648 Å lines and Fe I 5247-5250 Å lines show a good correlation with the magnetic field strength even for magnetic fields with a complex internal structure like those in MHD simulations. However, in the latter case, the amplitude ratio sub-estimates the magnetic field strength, always revealing sub-kG values. The Stokes V amplitude ratio of the Fe I 6301-6302 Å lines shows no correlation with the magnetic field strength. The reasons of this behaviour are explained.
