Faraday Rotation
Data Analysis
- Show your plot of the Malus curve. State the percent change in signal as a function of polarization angle near 45
. - State your DC and AC measurements as percent changes in signal as a function of magnetic field using the SF57 glass rod. Use the Malus curve to change your measurements into changes in angle of polarization.
- Plot of your DC and AC measurements of polarization change in SF57 glass as a function of magnetic field. Fit your data to determine the Verdet constant of SF57 and compare to the accepted value (note the wavelength used).
