Faraday Rotation

Data Analysis

  1. Show your plot of the Malus curve. State the percent change in signal as a function of polarization angle near 45^\circ.
  2. Show a plot of your DC and AC measurements of polarization change as a function of magnetic field using the SF57 glass rod. Fit your data to determine the Verdet constant of SF57 and compare to the accepted value (note the wavelength used).
