It's experimentally confirmed that the plane of polarization changes when applying a magnetic field, and the Verdet constants obtained from three different methods are consistent with each other with their uncertainties. The weighted average of our three results is 20.83$\frac{radians}{Tm}$, and the value quoted by TeachSpin for SF57 glass is 23$\frac{radians}{Tm}$, which is close to our value but not quite. This does not mean our value is wrong since TeachSpin manual uses a different wavelength (650nm). ($650$nm). In conclusion, we think our lab makes sense because we did see a change of polarization and our values agree with eath other within uncertainty.
