Photoelectric Effect Experiment Apparatus

BEX-8504A
Photoelectric Effect Experiment Apparatus

This apparatus uses a mercury lamp to generate a narrowband, fixed-size monochromatic beam via a bandpass filter and aperture. This beam irradiates the phototube, generating an electric current that is detected by a microcurrent amplifier. It enables the study of how light wavelength, aperture size, and intensity interact, verifying Einstein's photoelectric effect theory. Data collection supports both manual reading from meters and automated acquisition through a PASCO 850 Universal Interface with Capstone software. Given the need for extensive data across wavelengths and apertures, this solution is highly recommended. The apparatus itself maintains an experimental error of less than 5%, even with traditional methods.

Features of BEX-8504A Photoelectric Effect Experiment Apparatus

  • Integrated Design: Combines a filter wheel and apertures in one unit, simplifying management of experimental components.

  • Pure Wavelengths: Employs narrowband filter technology to ensure spectrally pure wavelengths.

  • Stable & Adjustable Setup: Uses an optical track for stable mounting of the phototube and mercury lamp, offering a greater range for distance adjustment.

  • Digital Compatibility: Compatible with the PASCO digital science experimental platform.

Applications of BEX-8504A Photoelectric Effect Experiment Apparatus

  • Determine Planck's constant h by measuring the stopping voltage of the phototube under illumination at different wavelengths.

  • Investigate the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the phototube by changing filters or aperture sizes.
