This kit, designed for students in most high school and undergraduate physics classes, includes laser, mounts, optics, and accessories. The lab manual gives detail instructions for thought provoking demonstrations in spectrometry, interferometry, diffraction, and polarization.
I.
Spectrometry
1. Introduction to the Spectrometer
Learn how to adjust and measure with a spectrometer. 2. Measurement of the Prism Angle
Measure the refracting angle of a prism.
3. The Angle of Minimum Deviation
Measure the angle of minimum deviation with Schuster's method of focusing.
4. Dispersion of Glass
Measure the angle of minimum deviation for various spectral lines and determine the index of refraction of prism glass.
5. Spectrophotometer
Measure the transmittance of a yellow filter for different wavelengths.
II.
Interferometry
6. The Michelson Interferometer
Set up, test, and calibrate the interferometer. 7. Measurement of Wavelength Difference
Measure the wavelength difference of two unknown wavelengths using a known average wavelength.
8. Twyman-Green Interferometer
Set up for testing transmissive optics.
9. Fabry-Perot Inteferometer
Set up, test, and calibrate the interferometer.
III. Diffraction of Light
10. Grating
Determine the grating spacing.
11. Resolving Power
Measure resolving power of a diffraction grating.
12. Young's Double Slit
Determine slit width and slit spacing for a double-slit grating; obtain a double-slit interference pattern.
13. Pinhole Measurement
Determine the diameter of a pinhole.
IV. Polarization of Light
14. Linear Polarization
Verify Malus's law and determine Brewster's angle for a test sample.
15. Quarter-Wave Plate
Observe and analyze the effect of a quarter-wave retardation plate on polarized light.
16. Half-Wave Plate
Observe and analyze the effect of a half-wave retardation plate on polarized light.
