Spectrometry Kit
The working of a spectrometer is based on the principle that when light falls on an optical device such as a prism or diffraction grating each wavelength is refracted or bent by a unique angle. A precise spectrum can be determined by measuring the angles at which light is refracted or bent.
Features:
- Main scale & Vernier scale are made of Brass on CNC machine.
- Two Vernier used to remove eccentric error.
- Least count 1 min. for measurement.
- Highly stable spectrometer body (weight 6 kg approx.).
- Supplied in black wooden box.
- Adjustable optical arms to coincide axis of collimeter & telescope.
- Optics aperture 32 mm for better resolution.
Learning Objectives/experiments
- To determine the dispersion & resolving power of the prism.
- To determine the wavelength of sodium light & also determine resolving power of using a diffraction grating.
- To determine angular dispersive by grating or prism.
- To determine the refractive index of prism.
- To determine wavelength of mercury spectral lines (optional).
- To verify Cauchy’s equation (using Mercury light source).To draw graph
(i) between wavelength ( λ) and minimum 2derivation angle.
(ii) between 1/ λ and minimum angle for prism for various lines from the spectrum of mercury discharge source.
