Description
GSC International 1865-PS Power Supply for Spectrum Tubes. A 110volt Spectrum Tube Power Supply to light various spectrum tubes.
A spectrum tubes require a power supply that provides high voltage of 5000 volts and low current to ionize the gas inside the spectrum tube. The Sockets are spring loaded for easy placement and removal. Shielded to protect user against accidental contact. The unit will accept a 26-centimeter-long spectrum tube.
The Spectrum Tube Power Supply is a tool that is used to enables students to observe the unique emission spectra of various gases (e.g., hydrogen, helium, neon) when ionized, illustrating atomic and molecular energy levels.
The Power Supply facilitates experiments where students use spectroscopes or diffraction gratings to study wavelengths of light emitted by ionized gases, connecting concepts of energy quantization and light properties.
Helps visualize concepts like electron transitions and photon emission, reinforcing Bohr’s model of the atom and the link between energy levels and spectral lines.
Provides a visual representation of how different gases emit distinct colors, helping students explore the physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds.
Teaches safe handling and operation of electrical equipment, as well as the importance of matching power supply specifications to experimental needs, building foundational laboratory skills.
