2.To experimentally determine the Verdet constant of a tube made of SF-57 glass, which describes the strength of Faraday effect within the glass tube:   $$\varphi_{B}=C_{v}BL$$ \begin{equation}  \varphi_{B}=C_{v}BL  \end{equation}  where $\varphi$ is the shift in polarization, B is the strength of applied magnetic field and L is the length of the glass tube. The magnetic field causes a change in polarization, and measuring the Verdet constant of the glass tells us how much change in polarization there was within the glass due to the magnetic field.
