Electrons in a fine-beam tube are deflected into a circular path by a uniform magnetic field. The tube contains neon gas at a precisely defined pressure so that gas atoms become ionised by collision with electrons along the path thus ... more

Objective: Determine Planck’s constant using the decelerating voltage method In a modified version of a classic set-up, light of known frequency passes through a ring-shaped anode to collide with a cathode, where it causes electrons ... more

Objective: Carry out Millikan’s experiment to onfirm the value of the elementary charge with the help of charged oil drops Between the years 1910 and 1913, Robert Andrews Millikan managed to measure the elementary electric charge ... more

Objective: Observe the diffraction of electrons on polycrystalline graphite and confirm the wave nature of electrons The diffraction of electrons on a polycrystalline graphite foil provides evidence for the wave nature of electrons. ... more

Objective: Record and interpret the Balmer series of lines for hydrogen and other line spectra in the visible region The line spectra of light-emitting atoms are uniquely characteristic for each specific chemical element, although they ... more

Objective: Record and interpret the Balmer series of lines for hydrogen other line spectra in the visible region The line spectra of light-emitting atoms are uniquely characteristic for each specific chemical element, although they become ... more

Objective: Carry out high-precision measurements of absorption and emission lines The resolution of a spectrometer is often assessed in terms of whether the two sodium D-lines can be distinguished. This experiment uses a digital spectrometer ... more
