In 2011 I moved back to Brandon, Manitoba and started working at the school I had graduated from, Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School. While there I also started a tremendously successful new course that gave students the ability to explore their interests in science and consisted of students completing one project a month, two of which were to be hands-on experiments, two of which were to be research based, and the final being up to the student. While teaching Physics there, I decided to invest in PASCO products and approached the Killarney Foundation with a proposal about funding the Physics lab with the SPARK Science Learning System and sensors. Having graduated with a major in Computer Science and minors in Physics and Mathematics, I began my teaching career at Killarney Collegiate Institute in Killarney, Manitoba in 2009. Also, the radius tool needs only three points to define the circle, so even rings that are partially out of view can be measured. PASCO Advantage: In PASCO Capstone software, students can use the video magnifier tool to enlarge the region to see the details of the line splitting.
All atomic magnetic moments are integral or half-integral multiples of the Bohr magneton.
The pattern may also be viewed along the field axis where the light is circularly polarized.įinally, the pattern that is polarized perpendicular to the field axis is used to calculate the Bohr magneton. A polarizer is used to show the three lines due to light that is polarized parallel to the field axis and to show the six lines that are polarized perpendicular to the field axis. Initially, the light is viewed along an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field axis. The magnetic field is varied from zero to nearly 1 Tesla. Also, the radius tool needs only three points to define the circle, so even rings that are partially out of view can be measured.In this experiment the student observes the interference pattern form a Fabry-Perot interferometer which results from a 546.1 nm spectral line of a mercury lamp immersed in a uniform magnetic field. In PASCO Capstone software, students can use the video magnifier tool to enlarge the region to see the details of the line splitting. Observe the light along the magnet axis.Measure the Zeeman Effect with polarization perpendicular and parallel to the field.
