Item no.: P2510700
Principle
The spectral lines of hydrogen and mercury are examined by means of a diffraction grating. The known spectral lines of Hg are used to determine the grating constant. The wave lengths of the visible lines of the Balmer series of H are measured.
Tasks
- Determination of the diffraction grating constant by means of the Hg spectrum.
- Determination of the visible lines of the Balmer series in the H spectrum, of Rydberg’s constant and of the energy levels.
