LEAI-21 Zeeman Effect Apparatus with Electromagnet

LEAI-21 Zeeman Effect Apparatus with Electromagnet

Features

  • Adjustable magnetic field intensity from electromagnet

  • High accuracy Teslameter included

  • Optional CCD and software for Windows 7/8/10, 32/64-bit computers


Introduction

This LEAI-21 experimental system of Zeeman effect with electromagnet consists of a main machine unit (including Teslameter, light source power supply, etc.), an electromagnet, a pencil Mercury lamp, focusing/imaging lenses, an interference optical filter, a F-P etalon, a polarizer, a direct reading microscope, an optional CCD camera, an optional USB image acquisition box, and analysis software (optional).  In addition, the relatively wideband etalon allows the observation of Zeeman effect at other Mercury spectral lines of 577 nm and 436 nm with an optional set of filters. It is an ideal experimental instrument for advanced physics laboratories.


The instruction manual contains comprehensive materials including experimental configurations, principles and step-by-step instructions. Please click Experiment Theory and Contents to find more information about this apparatus.

 

Using this instrument, the following experiments can be conducted:

 

1. Observe Zeeman effect, and understand atomic magnetic moment and spatial quantization

2. Observe the splitting and polarization of a Mercury atomic spectral line at 546.1 nm

3. Calculate electron charge-mass ratio based on Zeeman splitting amount

4. Learn how to adjust a Fabry-Perot etalon and apply a CCD device in spectroscopy
