Examine the photoemission of a mixed alkali photocathode in a vacuum as a function of the illumination and the extraction voltage applied. The apparatus is robust and the electronics are very stable. No trouble should be encountered in normal operation. Also, this unit features precise, stable illumination and bias control for excellent results. Shielded cables connect a lighttight box to the control and measurement unit that contains a highly stabilized lamp power supply adjusted by a multiturn potentiometer. Includes instructions with suggested activities and sample data. Recommended for advanced and college-level physics.
The photocurrent amplifier and display may be used to measure the suppression voltage of the phototube but are not in the range to accurately determine Planck's constant using color filters.
The detailed instruction manual contains background information and sample data.
