Optical Spectroscopy in the Advanced Physics Laboratory at Furman University

9451246特纳一个1米光学光谱仪将获得，这将使学生在我们的先进物理实验室进行三个新的实验：（1）对氢和氘的光谱进行高分辨率研究，并利用这些数据确定氘的质量和自旋-轨道耦合的影响，（2）对Hg中塞曼效应的研究，（3）研究太阳的连续光谱和吸收光谱以及地球大气层的吸收光谱，并利用这些数据研究多普勒频移，以及如何利用它来确定太阳的半径和到太阳的距离。 这些项目是仿照米德尔伯里学院和麻省理工学院的项目进行的，将补充和补充电子和原子与核物理领域的现有练习。 数据将使用该部门的NSF资助的计算物理实验室进行分析和可视化。

9451246 Turner A 1-meter optical spectrograph will be acquired, which will enable students in our advanced physics laboratory to conduct three new experiments: (1) a high-resolution study of the spectra of hydrogen and deuterium, and use of these data to determine the mass of the deuteron and the effects of spin-orbit coupling, (2) a study of the Zeeman effect in Hg, and (3) a study of the continuous and absorption spectra of the sun and of the absorption spectrum of the earth's atmosphere, and use of these data to investigate the Doppler shift and how it can be used to determine the radius of and distance to the sun. These projects, which are modeled after ones at Middlebury College and MIT, will supplement and complement existing exercises in the areas of electronics and atomic and nuclear physics. Data will be analyzed and visualized using the department's NSF-funded computational physics laboratory.
