Spectrum Measurement and Analysis

Click on an image to get a larger picture.

Calibrate a monochrometer using a mercury discharge lamp. Measure the spectrum of hydrogen to determine an accurate value of the Rydberg constant. Measure the fine structure splitting of several line pairs in the sodium spectrum.
For a picture inside of a monochrometer click here.
The pictures above show the yellow light from the sodium lamp and below is the bluish light from a hydrogen lamp.
