The Fluorescent Lamp (Physics of Technology Series)

A module on atomic physics and atomic spectrum. Treats some wave properties of light, diffraction gratings, grating spectrometers, emission and absorption spectra, atomic models, energy levels, ionization, and light-matter interactions. Prerequisites are very elementary electrostatics, knowledge of current and voltage, and energy. Although students who have completed other modules in mechanics and electricity should meet the prerequisites, the prerequisites can be covered in a short introductory lecture. Part of the Physics of Technology program, a 27-module introduction to physics at a pre-calculus level. The American Institute of Physics coordinated this program in the 1970s, with modules created by Florissant Valley Community College, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the State University of New York at Binghamton, and TERC. From the Instructor’s Manual : The Fluorescent Lamp module is a study of the fluorescent lamp, the light given off by such a lamp, and how this light is related to the energy levels of mercury atoms. The module is designed to require three full weeks of study for the average student. The laboratory exercises are mostly concerned with the simple observation,
