Limits of Precision in the Balmer Lines Spectroscopy Lab
written by
Timothy Roach
Balmer lines spectroscopy can reach an impressive level of precision even with the common student spectrometer. Understanding the sources of error can help the instructor in guiding and assessing student work as well as in teaching about error analysis itself. We analyze the most significant contributions to error, both random and systematic, including approaches to minimize or measure them. This can be applied to teaching labs whether accuracy is ~ 1% (introductory level) or better than 0.05% (in-depth advanced level).
