BEX-8504A photoelectric effect experiment apparatus
In this apparatus, mercury-lamp light passes through a filter-aperture head to form narrowband monochromatic light of fixed beam size. It illuminates a phototube to generate current, which a microcurrent amplifier detects. The experiment investigates the relationships among illumination wavelength, aperture size, and light intensity to verify Einstein's photoelectric-effect theory. With a PASCO voltage sensor or data-acquisition interface, large amounts of live data form a computer-based acquisition and analysis system, upgrading the apparatus to a digital instrument.
