\subsection{Slope Method}
The direct fit method allowed us to find the angle of greatest sensitivity of the polarizer, which is the point of inflection on the V vs φ graph. To verify the value of the Verdet constant, we used a second method where the polarized stayed at the angle of greatest sensitivity and we varied the current of the solenoid, going in 0.5A steps from -3A to 3A, thereby varying the magnetic field within the solenoid between
- XXXXX -33.3 mT and
+ XXXXX +33.3 mT. We could then graph voltage vs magnetic field, which results in a linear graph. The slope of the graph is $\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta B}$. We calculated $\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta \phi}$ previously, so we can find $\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta\phi}$ and therefore the Verdet constant.
%Initially, we fit our data to the form $V=V_{0}(sin(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2}))^2$, which using trigonometry, is $V=V_{0}\frac{(1-cos(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})^2)}{2}$ (the actual equation that we fit to). However, we should have been fitting to the form $V=V_{0}cos(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})^2$, which is $V=V_{0}\frac{(1+cos(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})^2)}{2}$. Now,
%$$sin(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})^2=sin2(θ1-(-θ2))$$
