Optical Spectroscopy in the Advanced Physics Laboratory at Furman University

将获得一台1米的光谱仪，这将使我们高级物理实验室的学生能够进行三个新的实验：(1)高分辨率光谱的研究氢和氘,和使用这些数据来决定氘核的质量和旋轨道耦合的影响,(2)Hg塞曼效应的研究,和(3)的连续和吸收光谱的研究太阳和地球大气的吸收光谱,并使用这些数据调查的多普勒频移以及它如何可以用来确定太阳的半径和距离。这些项目以米德尔伯里学院和麻省理工学院的项目为蓝本，将补充和补充电子、原子和核物理领域现有的练习。该部门的nsf资助的计算物理实验室将对数据进行分析和可视化。

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.
