Principle

The spectral lines of He and Hg are examined by means of a diffraction grating. The wavelengths of the lines are determined from the geometrical arrangement and the diffraction grating constants.

Benefits

  • Spectral lines of various elements can be determined with high precision
  • Simple setup for high ranking experiments
  • HV power supply with high safety standards makes experimentation safe

Tasks

  1. Determination of the wavelengths of the most intense spectral lines of He.
  2. Determination of the wavelengths of the most intense spectral lines of Hg.
