Faraday's Effect (2.6)

List of Equipment	Equipment used in this experiment
Equipment Manuals	Lock-in Amplifier
Student's Manual	This experiment extends the concept of optical activity of chiral solution to magnetically induced birefringence through the historically important Faraday Effect, which reveals the rich interplay between optics and magnetism.
Sample Results	Faraday rotation varies linearly with magnetic field Maximum rotation is observed when analyzer is oriented at 45 degree w.r.t polarizer
