Neon Light Line Spectrum

The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to an atom or molecule making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.

Neon light line spectrum. Neon reference spectrum obtained with the jy h 20 monochromator used as a spectrograph. Hence only certain frequencies of light are observed forming the emission spectrum which is discrete bright coloured lines on a dark background. A neon light contains a tiny amount of neon gas under low pressure. This is the neon spectrum obtained with the first design of the raman microscope.

The neon emission lines provide known spectrum wavelengths. Steps to obtain emission line spectrum. Gases such as hydrogen or neon are placed in an discharge tube at low pressure. In order for an atomic emission spectrum to be observed the particle must be excited.

Neon light is used for spectrograph calibration. The ge neon night light 58417 is used and it plugs into 120 vac green extension cord. There are many possible electron transitions for each atom and each. Part of the night light plastic cover was removed in order to directly see the neon bulb.

Ions are attracted to terminals of the lamp completing the electric circuit. The night light is placed in front of the spectrograph lens. In this case the focusing element is the grating itself. Electricity provides energy to strip electrons away from neon atoms ionizing them.

Neon however is monatomic in its gaseous state due to the fact that it is a noble gas thus is unreactive and already has eight valence electrons and is hence already stable. Light is produced when neon atoms gain enough energy to become excited.
