SPECTROMETER
Aim:
To study the functions of different parts of a spectrometer and their adjustments
Description:
The collimator is an arrangement for producing a parallel beam of light. It consists of a hollow
brass tune with a vertical slit (S), at one end and a Collimating Lens (L) at the other end. To
obtain parallel beam of rays, the distance between the slit and lens has to be adjusted. This can be
done by means of a side screw attached to the collimator. The width of the slit can be adjusted
by a screw attached to its side. The collimator is a fixed one and it cannot be rotated.
Telescope:
The telescope is attached to a circular scale graduated in degrees. It can be rotated about a
circular axis passing through the centre of the circular scale. It has an objective O near the
collimator ad an eye piece E at the other end. The eye piece of the telescope is provided with
crosswire. The focusing of the telescope is done by a screw attached to the side of the telescope.
The telescope can be rotated and fixed at any position using a ain screw. The telescope can be
rotated by very small amounts by a fine adjustments screw which is tangential to the main screw.
Prism table
The prism table consists of two identical metal discs separated by three springs. Through the
springs pass three levelling screws. The top surface of the upper disc contains lines to mount the
prism in proper position. The prisms table can be raised or lowered and fixed at an desired height
by means of a screw. The prism table can be rotated about the same vertical axis as the telescope.
A vernier disc attached to vertical axis carries two diametrically opposite vernier scales VA and
VB . The vernier disc can be rotated and fixed at any position by a main screw and a fine screw as
in the telescope.

Procedure
Initial adjustments:
Eye piece: The telescope is turned towards a white wall and the eye piece alone is adjusted until
the cross wires are clearly seen.
Telescope: The telescope is turned towards a distant object. The distance between the eyepiece
and objective is adjusted by the screw until a clear image is seen on the crosswire.
Collimator: The slit of collimator is illuminated by sodium light. The slit is adjusted fine and
narrow. The distance between the slit and the collimating lens is adjusted so that clear image is
got on the cross wire when the telescope is brought in line with the collimator.
Prism table: The prism table is made horizontal using a spirit level. The spirit level is placed on
the prism table along the line joining any two legs. Then the leveling screws of the prism table
alone are adjusted until the air bubble comes to the centre. The process is repeated by keeping
the spirit level at different places until the prism table is exactly horizontal.
To find least count:The value of each main scale division is half degree(=30). The number of
vernier scale divisions is 30.29 main scale divisions are divided into 30 vernier scale divisions(ie
30VSD = 29MSD). Therefore value of 1 VSD= 29/30 MSD. It is known that the least count is
the difference between 1 MSD and 1VSD.
Least count(LC) = 1MSD – 1VSD
= 1MSD – 29/30 MSD
= 1/30 MSD = 1/30 x 30’ =1’
Least count = 1’ (one minute)

To read the readings
During experimentation readings must be taken from both vernier A and vernier B scales and
tabulated. Fig. b shows the typical reading observed in vernier A and vernier B. since vernier A
and vernier B are at diametrically opposite places in the circular vernier disc, in a perfect
instrument the difference between these readings must be 1800.
Result
The difference in vernier scale readings are found to be …………..

PROCEDURE:
The burette is filled with the given liquid. A capillary tube is attached to the lower end of
the burette using a rubber tube. The capillary tube is made vertical and the liquid is allowed to
flow through it. When the liquid comes to a known height (h1), height measured from the axis of
the capillary tube, the stopwatch is started. The stopwatch is stopped when the liquid flows to
another level (h2). The driving height is given by h = ((h1 + h2) / 2) – h0, where h0 is the height of
the center of the capillary tube from table. (Since h1 and h2 are measured from table and driving
height is with respect to the capillary tube, the term h0 is incorporated in the formula for driving
height.) The volume of the liquid and time of flow are noted. Using the above formula the
coefficient of viscosity of the given liquid can be calculated. The radius of the capillary tube will
be given.
RESULT
The coefficient of viscosity of the given liquid is = ------------------------Nsm-2

PROCEDURE :
Numerical aperture of any optical system is a measure of how much light can be
collected by the optical system. It is the product of the refractive index of the incident medium
and the sine of the maximum ray angle. The schematic diagram of the numerical aperture
measurement system is shown in the figure.
One end of the 1 metre optical fibre cable is connected to PO of source and the other end
to the NA JIG as shown in the figure. The AC main is switched on. Light should appear at the
end of the fibre on the NA JIG. Turn the set Po knob clockwise to set to maximum intensity.
The white screen in the NA JIG with the 4 concentric circles each of 10, 15 20, and 25
mm in diameter is kept vertically at a suitable distance so that the red spot from the emitting fibre
coincides with the smallest (10mm) circle. The circumference of the spot outermost must
coincide with the circle. A dark room will facilitate good contrast. The distance of the screen
from the fibre end L and the diameter of the spot are noted. The diameter of the circle is
measured accurately with a suitable scale which is provided in the JIG itself. The experiment is
repeated for 15 min, 20 mm, and 25 mm diameters in the same way. The readings are tabulated.

PROCEDURE:
The initial adjustments of the spectrometer are made. The prism is placed on the prism table and
is illuminated by a sodium vapour lamp. The prism is placed in such a way that its base is
parallel to the collimator. The deviated ray is found by moving the telescope towards the base of
the prism and the prism table is rotated such that the slit moves in a particular direction (ie
towards the direct ray), stops and retraces its path. This position is found out and the slit is made
to coincide with the cross wire and readings are noted, from which angle of deviation is
determined. Assuming the value of the angle of Prism (A = 60ο), the value of the refractive index
of the material of the prism is found out.

potentiometer wire AB. The second accumulator Acc2 is connected in the secondary circuit. The
DPDT switch is connected to the jockey through high resistance and galvanometer. The proper
polarity of the terminals must be ensured that the top row terminals are positive and bottom row
terminals are negative. The rheostat is adjusted to get opposite side deflections in galvanometer.
When the jockey is in contact at two extreme ends of the potentiometer wire .The DPDT switch
is thrown to one side so that the resistance R is included in the circuit and the balancing length
l1is measured. The switch is thrown in the opposite direction so that the coil X is included and
the balancing length l2 is measured. In each value of R, the rheostat should be adjusted to get
opposite deflections both for potential drops across R and X respectively.
