Question

Explain the preliminary adjustments of the spectrometer.

Answer in Brief

Solution

The following adjustments must be made before doing the experiment using a spectrometer.

  1. Adjustment of the eyepiece:
    The telescope is turned towards an illuminated surface and the eyepiece is moved to and fro until the cross wires are clearly seen.
  2. Adjustment of the telescope:
    The telescope is adjusted to receive parallel rays by turning it towards a distant object and adjusting the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece to get a clear image on the cross wire.
  3. Adjustment of the collimator:
    The telescope is brought along the axial line with the collimator. The slit of the collimator is illuminated by a source of light. The distance between the slit and the lens of the collimator is adjusted until a clear image of the slit is seen at the cross wire of the telescope. Since the telescope is already adjusted for parallel rays, a well-defined image of the slit can be formed, only when the light rays emerging from the collimator are parallel.
  4. Levelling the prism table:
    The prism table is adjusted or levelled to be in a horizontal position by means of levelling screws and a spirit level.
