Zeeman Effect
Procedure
- Select the "Magnetic Field vs. Current" procedure from the 'Select Procedure' dropdown menu.
- Click on the 'Insert Hall probe' button to insert the probe into the electromagnet. The distance between electromagnets should be 1 cm.
- Click on the 'Add to Table' button to add current and magnetic field values to the table.
- Click on the 'Observation' button to view the table.
- Click on the 'plot graph' button to view the graph.
- Change the procedure to "Zeeman Effect" to calculate the Bohr magneton.
- Display the Optical rail with the converging lens, polarizer, Fabry Perot etalon (fix the thickness of air gap of etalon t= 4mm), a telescope with focussing lens, and a CCD camera on the rail with equal height in order to make the parallel light.
- Click on the 'Insert mercury tube' button to insert the mercury discharge tube into the electromagnet.
- Carefully adjust the distance between the individual components to get a clear image of the rings.
- Connect the CCD camera to the Monitor and observe the concentric circular rings.
- Click on the ‘Magnetic field’ button to apply the maximum magnetic field and observe the splitting of spectral lines.
- Click on the ‘Take reading’ button to bring the innermost splitting of the first spectrum line at the cross-section and note down the micrometer reading. This position is Ri.
- Click on the ‘Take reading’ button again to move the micrometer to adjust the second spectral splitting of the first line at the cross wire and note its reading.
- Similarly, take readings of all the splitting in different spectral lines by keep on clicking the ‘Take reading button.
- Click on the “observations’ button to display the observation table.
- Click on the “calculation” button on the observation table to display the calculations.
- Click on the “Show Result’ button to display the result.
