ADVANCED SPECTROMETRY KIT

Item Code : SK024/SK024A

Principle and Working:

The operation 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 at a unique angle. A precise spectrum can be obtained by measuring the angles at which the light is refracted or bent.

  • Main scale & Vernier scale are made of Brass on CNC machine.
  • Four Vernier used to remove eccentric error (almost fully)
  • Least count 20 sec. for precise measurement
  • Highly stable spectrometer body (weight 8.5 kg approx.)
  • Supplied in black wooden box .
  • Adjustable optical arms to coincide axis of collimator & telescope.
  • Optics aperture 32 mm for better resolution.
  • To determine the dispersion & resolving power of  a prism.
  • To determine the wavelength of sodium light & also determine resolving power of prism 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 between wavelength (l) and angle of minimum deviation for various lines from the spectrum of mercury discharge source.
