Kerr - June 15, 2016

• I took data with the half-waveplate in order to understand its effect on transmittance of the light.

• • media:halfwaveplate1.xlsx

• I worked on setting up the optics table in order to perform a simple experiment to see the effect of a magnetic field on polarization transmittance

• • media:magneticeffect1.xlsx

• Learned how to work with Linux and Extrema a little bit

• I can now fit data using extrema
