\section{Abstract}  We performed an experiment to measure the Faraday rotation of polarized light passing through a magnetic field, as well as measuring the Verdet constant of a SF57 glass tube with a length of 0.1 m. Our results are consistent with the general idea of Faraday rotation, which suggests that linearly polarized light experiences rotation when applying a magnetic field.  The values we found for Verdet constant are $20.7 \pm 0.845$\frac{radians}{Tm}, $21.095\pm 4.12$\frac{radians}{Tm} and $20.43 \pm 0.058$\frac{radians}{Tm}. Those 0.058$\frac{radians}{Tm}, and those  values are consistent with each other within uncertainty.
