  • The Balmer Series
    The Balmer Series Introduction Historically, the spectral lines of hydrogen have been categorized as six distinct series. The visible portion of the hydrogen spectrum is contained in the Balmer series, named after Johann Balmer who discovered an empirical relationship for calculating its wave- lengths [2]. In 1885 Balmer discovered that by labeling the four visible lines of the hydorgen spectrum with integers n, (n = 3, 4, 5, 6) (See Table 1 and Figure 1) each wavelength λ could be calculated from the relationship n2 λ = B , (1) n2 − 4 where B = 364.56 nm. Johannes Rydberg generalized Balmer’s result to include all of the wavelengths of the hydrogen spectrum. The Balmer formula is more commonly re–expressed in the form of the Rydberg formula 1 1 1 = RH − , (2) λ 22 n2 where n =3, 4, 5 . and the Rydberg constant RH =4/B. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the wavelengths of the visible spec- tral lines of hydrogen using a spectrometer and to calculate the Balmer constant B. Procedure The spectrometer used in this experiment is shown in Fig. 1. Adjust the diffraction grating so that the normal to its plane makes a small angle α to the incident beam of light. This is shown schematically in Fig. 2. Since α u 0, the angles between the first and zeroth order intensity maxima on either side, θ and θ0 respectively, are related to the wavelength λ of the incident light according to [1] λ = d sin(φ) , (3) accurate to first order in α. Here, d is the separation between the slits of the grating, and θ0 + θ φ = (4) 2 1 Color Wavelength [nm] Integer [n] Violet2 410.2 6 Violet1 434.0 5 blue 486.1 4 red 656.3 3 Table 1: The wavelengths and integer associations of the visible spectral lines of hy- drogen shown in Fig.

  • Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective
    Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota by John Richard Gustafson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Advisor: Roger H. Stuewer Minneapolis, Minnesota July 2004 i © John Richard Gustafson 2004 ii To my father and mother Rudy and Aune Gustafson iii Abstract Wolfgang Pauli's philosophy and physics were intertwined. His philosophy was a variety of Platonism, in which Pauli’s affiliation with Carl Jung formed an integral part, but Pauli’s philosophical explorations in physics appeared before he met Jung. Jung validated Pauli’s psycho-philosophical perspective. Thus, the roots of Pauli’s physics and philosophy are important in the history of modern physics. In his early physics, Pauli attempted to ground his theoretical physics in positivism. He then began instead to trust his intuitive visualizations of entities that formed an underlying reality to the sensible physical world. These visualizations included holistic kernels of mathematical-physical entities that later became for him synonymous with Jung’s mandalas. I have connected Pauli’s visualization patterns in physics during the period 1900 to 1930 to the psychological philosophy of Jung and displayed some examples of Pauli’s creativity in the development of quantum mechanics. By looking at Pauli's early physics and philosophy, we gain insight into Pauli’s contributions to quantum mechanics. His exclusion principle, his influence on Werner Heisenberg in the formulation of matrix mechanics, his emphasis on firm logical and empirical foundations, his creativity in formulating electron spinors, his neutrino hypothesis, and his dialogues with other quantum physicists, all point to Pauli being the dominant genius in the development of quantum theory.

  • The Rydberg Constant

If you observe the light through a spectroscope, you can identify four distinct lines of color in the visible light range. The history of the study of these lines th dates back to the late 19 century, where we meet a high school mathematics teacher from Basel, Switzerland, named Johann Balmer. Balmer created an equation describing the wavelengths of the visible hydrogen emission lines. However, he did not support his equation with a physical explanation. In a paper written in 1885, Balmer proposed that his equation could be used to predict the entire spectrum of hydrogen, including the ultra-violet and the infrared spectral lines. The Balmer equation is shown below. -8 where m and n were integers, and h = 3654.6 10 cm. When one solves the equation using n =2 and m = 3, 4, 5, or 6, the calculated wavelengths are very close to the four emission lines in the visible light range for a hydrogen gas discharge tube. Balmer apparently derived his equation by trail and error. Sadly, he would not live to see Niels Bohr and Johannes Rydberg prove the validity of his equation. Johannes Rydberg was a mathematics teacher like Balmer (he also taught a bit of physics). In 1890, Rydberg’s research of spectroscopy (inspired, it is said, by the work of Dmitri Mendeleev) led to his discovery that Balmer’s equation was a specific case of a more general principle.

  • 28-1 Line Spectra and the Hydrogen Atom Figure 28.1 Gives Some Examples of the Line Spectra Emitted by Atoms of Gas
    28-1 Line Spectra and the Hydrogen Atom Figure 28.1 gives some examples of the line spectra emitted by atoms of gas. The atoms are typically excited by applying a high voltage across a glass tube that contains a particular gas. By observing the light through a diffraction grating, the light is separated into a set of wavelengths that characterizes the element. The spectrum of light emitted by excited hydrogen atoms is shown Figure 28.1: Line spectra from hydrogen (top) and helium in Figure 28.1(a). The decoding of the (bottom). A line spectrum is like the fingerprint of an element. hydrogen spectrum represents one of Astronomers, for instance, can determine what a star is made of by the great scientific mystery stories. carefully examining the spectrum of light emitted by the star. First on the scene was the Swiss mathematician and schoolteacher, Johann Jakob Balmer (1825 – 1898), who published an equation in 1885 giving the wavelengths in the visible spectrum emitted by hydrogen. The Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg (1854 – 1919) followed up on Balmer’s work in 1888 with a more general equation that predicted all the wavelengths of light emitted by hydrogen: , (Eq. 28.1: The Rydberg equation for the hydrogen spectrum) 7 –1 where R = 1.097 ! 10 m is the Rydberg constant, and the two n’s are integers, with n2 greater than n1. Neither Balmer nor Rydberg had a physical explanation to justify their equations, however, so the search was on for such a physical explanation. The breakthrough was made by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962), who showed that if the angular momentum of the electron in a hydrogen atom was quantized in a particular way (related to Planck’s constant, in fact), that the energy levels for an electron within the hydrogen atom were also quantized, with the energies of the electrons being given by: , (Eq.

    PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL PHILOSOPHY PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR www.physicsfoundations.org NATURAL PHILOSOPHY www.lfs.fi Dr. Suntola’s “The Short History of Science” shows fascinating competence in its constructively critical in-depth exploration of the long path that the pioneers of metaphysics and empirical science have followed in building up our present understanding of physical reality. The book is made unique by the author’s perspective. He reflects the historical path to his Dynamic Universe theory that opens an unparalleled perspective to a deeper understanding of the harmony in nature – to click the pieces of the puzzle into their places. The book opens a unique possibility for the reader to make his own evaluation of the postulates behind our present understanding of reality. – Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, PhD, theoretical philosophy, MSc, high energy physics The book gives an exceptionally interesting perspective on the history of science and the development paths that have led to our scientific picture of physical reality. As a philosophical question, the reader may conclude how much the development has been directed by coincidences, and whether the picture of reality would have been different if another path had been chosen. – Heikki Sipilä, PhD, nuclear physics Would other routes have been chosen, if all modern experiments had been available to the early scientists? This is an excellent book for a guided scientific tour challenging the reader to an in-depth consideration of the choices made. – Ari Lehto, PhD, physics Tuomo Suntola, PhD in Electron Physics at Helsinki University of Technology (1971).

    C.K. GHOSH E L C I T RTICLE R A E R U T A UR tryst with mathematical operations begins with EATURE Onumerical identities. Perhaps the fi rst exercise in addition F that we do is 1 + 1=2, which is the simplest among the numerical identities. Likewise, the multiplication tables provide us with numerous examples of numerical identities. The same is true of subtraction or division, which is repeated subtraction. If we probe into many such identities, we fi nd hidden Pythagoras treasures. The focus of this article is such a treasure hunt. Let us look at the identity, 8 + 16 = 24. It may not reveal any meaningful relation. But instead if we have, Take a look at some numerical identities, 9 + 16 = 25, it becomes quite signifi cant. This is because it can be which with some probing reveal hidden expressed as, treasures. Readers may dig out many more 32 + 42 = 52. such identities. In other words, 3, 4, 5 form a Pythagorean Trio. It indicates that if we have a right-angled triangle with its mutually perpendicular sides of length 3 and 4 units, then its hypotenuse The right hand side of identity (a) is 273, which is a number is bound to be of length 5 units. exactly divisible by ‘7’. The le hand side is the sum of the Starting from (3, 4, 5) we may generate many more such number of days in January, February, March, April, May, June, trios, by multiplying each member by 2, 3, 4 and so on. The trios July, August, September of any ordinary year (which is not a leap thus obtained would be (6, 8, 10); (9, 12, 15); (12, 16, 20) and year).
