Lab Manual Dispersion EN

1. The document describes experiments to investigate the dispersion of white light through a prism and identify infrared and ultraviolet rays. It involves using a prism, light source, screen, and radiation detector. 2. The first experiment verifies dispersion by passing white light through a prism and observing the spectrum. Subsequent experiments study monochromatic light and combining beams. 3. The final experiment detects infrared and ultraviolet rays by observing the radiation detector's response outside of the visible light spectrum. This confirms the existence of invisible infrared and ultraviolet radiation.

Dispersion Phenomenon 67

Infrared Ray and Ultraviolet Ray

XIII Dispersion Phenomenon


Infrared Ray and Ultraviolet Ray
A. Theoretical Background

Investigate §35, §40 gifted Physics textbook to answer the questions:


1. State in a short and exact way the knowledge needed to build in two lessons. Compare with
the targets in teaching about induction phenomenon learned in grade 9, are there any
development?
2. Summary logically in constructing the knowledge in the textbook.
3. To construct these knowledge, which experiments do we need to do? In which form?

B. Experimental Process

Experiment 1: Investigate the dispersion phenomenon


Aims of experiments
- Verify the dispersion phenomenon through prism
- Identify the existence of infrared ray and ultraviolet ray in the spectrum of white light.
Plan
Plan 1: Use performing experimental equipment to investigate the dispersion phenomenon
and identify the infrared ray and the ultraviolet ray.
a) The function of the equipment
The equipment is used in doing the experiments investigating the dispersion of white light
through prism, the properties of monochromatic beam, the superposition of monochromatic
beams into white light and identifying the existence of infrared ray and ultraviolet ray in the
spectrum of white light.
b) Parts of equipment
Performing experimental equipment (Figure 7.7) including the below parts:
- Bulb erecting the white light 12V - 21W (1) having magnetic support to stick on the steek
optical board (2) with the size of 80cm x 45cm, having supports. Bulb is connected directly to
a source 12 V(3).
- Two equilateral triangle prism (4, 5) with magnetic support.
- Bind with thin slit 1,5mm (6) to separate the monochromatic beams in the spectrum of white
light.
- Screen (7) to take the image.
- Radiative recording head (8) is an optical resistor connected to a cell lµ pin 1,5V, with
magnetic support.

ray.

* Experiment 1: Verify the dispersion phenomenon of white light through prism.


- Stick bulb (1) on the optical board and connect it to source 12V. Adjust the bulb to ensure
the beam through internal lens of convergent bulb on the screen (7) perpendicular to
optical board.
- Sick prism (4) on optical board in front of the bulb with the distance of about 5 cm.
- Stick screen (7) on optical board, with the distance of 80 cm to the prism, to ensure the
spectrum clear on the screen.
* Experiment 2: Verify the properties of monochromatic beam
- Fix the position of the bulb and the prism. Set the bind with thin slit on the board, behind
the prism (4) about 65 cm. Adjust the position of prism and bind to receive clear spectrum
of white light on the blind
- Set prism (5) on the board, behind the blind (6) and errected with the prism (4).
- Move the slit to each bright colored band of spectrum respectively, and move the prism (5)
for each monochromatic bright colored band pass through it. When moving the screen (7)
placed behind this prism about 15cm so that catch the emerging beam out of the prism on
the screen, we will see: each monochromatic bright colored band is only deviated when
passing through the prism, without discoloration.

* Experiment 3: Investigate the combination of monochromatic beams into white light
- Fix the position of the lamb, the prism (4) is placed next to the lamb and the screen is
placed behind the prism. Adjust the positions of prism and lamb to obtain the sharp
spectrum of light on the screen. Lift the screen out of the board.
- Move the prism (5) placed on the board so that two prisms are in opposite, their bottoms
are always in parallel and the bright multi-colored band obtained from prism (4) to pass
through prism (5). When placing the screen after the prism (5) about 45 cm them the
emerging beam out of the prism (5) what was caught on the screen will be white light
band.
Plan 2: Using the laboratory equipment of optical performances from Germany
Experiment 2: Study about infrared rays, ultraviolet rays
a. Experimental goals:
Investigate the existence of infrared rays, ultraviolet rays
b. Experimental Procedures:
- Attach the lamb (1) on the optical board and connect to the power source of 12V.
Adjust the lamb so that the image of the filament be perpendicular with the board.
- Attach the prism (4) on the optical board just be in front of the lamb.
- Catch the spectrum band of white light into the radiation receiver (8) connected to
galvanometer.
- Move the receiver inside the region of visible light, outside the region of visible light
and observe the needle of the galvanometer, we will see:
- when moving the receiver out of the region of red light, the needle of the
galvanometer still has quite large deviation comparing to moving the receiver inside
the region of visible light. This proves that the existence of invisible radiation
(infrared rays).

- When moving the receiver out of the region of violet light, deviation angle of the
needle of the galvanometer is considerably reduced, but it’s still larger than when we
turn off the lamb. This proves that the existence of invisible radiation be near violet
rays (ultraviolet rays).
