Object:
1 Determine the diffraction grating constant by means of the mercury spectrum
2 Determine the visible lines of the Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum, of Rydberg’s constant and of the energy levels.
Principle:
The spectral lines of hydrogen and mercury are examined by means of a diffraction grating. The known wavelength of spectral lines of mercury is used to determine the grating constant. Due to the collision ionization, hydrogen molecule is converted to atomic hydrogen in the spectral tube. Electrons from the hydrogen atoms are excited to higher energy levels through collision with electrons. When they return to lower energy levels, the atoms emit light of different frequency with different colour. The wave lengths of the visible lines of the Balmer series of hydrogen are measured.
