A Center of Natural Sciences in Germany

GÖTTINGEN is a city of teaching and research. Scientific equipment, teaching

equipment and laboratory installations developed and produced in this city are famous

throughout the world.

Göttingen would not be what it is without its university.

“Georgia Augusta” was founded in 1734 and by 1777 it was Germany‘s largest

university, with 700 students. It still is one of the leading universities in Germany, with

14 faculties, significant scientific facilities and more than 30,000 students.

The gracious Goose Girl (“Gänseliesel”) on the market place well is the most kissed girl

in Germany. Why? Because every newly graduated doctor must kiss the cold beauty on

her bronze mouth. That is Göttingen tradition.

Determination of the gravitational constant with a Cavendish balance 1.3.09-01

Principle:Two small lead balls of equal massare positioned one at each end of abeam which is held suspended by athin tungsten thread, so that it canswing freely across its equilibriumposition. When two further, but larg-er, lead balls held on a swivel arm arenow brought near to the small leadballs, forces of attraction resultingfrom gravitation effect accelerationof the small balls in the direction ofthe larger balls. At the same time,the twisted metal thread generates arestoring moment of rotation, so

that the beam is subjected todamped oscillation across a newequilibrium position. The gravita-tional constant can be determinedboth from the difference in the angleof rotation of the different equilibri-um positions and from the dynamicbehaviour of the swinging systemduring attraction.

An integrated capacitive sensor pro-duces a direct voltage that is propor-tional to the angle of deflection. Thiscan be recorded over time by an in-terface system, and the value of theangle of rotation that is required beso determined.

Dynamics Mechanics

Principle:A classic method of determining thevelocity of a projectile is to shoot theprojectile into a resting mass whichis large compared to the projectile’smass and hung as a pendulum. In theprocess, the projectile remains in thependulum mass and oscillates withit. This is an inelastic collision inwhich the momentum remainsunchanged. If the pendulum’smechanical data are known, one caninfer the velocity of the pendulum’smass (including the projectile’s mass)at the lowest point of thependulum’s oscillation from theamplitude of the pendulum’s oscilla-tion. The momentum of the twomasses in this phase of the oscilla-tion must thus be equal to theimpulse of the projectile before itstruck the pendulum. If one knowsthe masses of the pendulum and theprojectile, one can calculate theprojectile’s velocity.

In order to be able to use this meas-uring principle without danger, thefollowing set-up is used here: A steelball is shot at the mass of a pendu-lum with the aid of a spring catapult.The pendulum mass has a hollowspace in which the steel ball is held.

If, additionally, two light barriers anda time measuring device are avail-able, an independent, direct meas-urement of the initial velocity of theball can be made.

Experimental set-up with supplement for direct measurement of the initialvelocity of the ball.

Tasks:1. Measurement of the oscillation

amplitudes of the ballistic pendu-lum after capturing the steel ballfor the three possible tensionenergies of the throwing device.

2. Calculation of the initial velocitiesof the ball from the measuredoscillation amplitudes and themechanical data of the pendulumis performed using the approxima-tion formula (3).

3. Plotting of the velocity v of thesteel ball as a function of themaximum deflection (0…90°) ofthe pendulum according to for-mula (3), taking into considerationthe special mechanical data of theexperiment.

4. Determination of the correctionfactor fcor for the utilised pendu-lum for the conversion of thevelocities determined by using theapproximation formula into thevalues obtained from the exacttheory. Correction of the velocityvalues from Tasks 2.

5. If the supplementary devices forthe direct measurement of theinitial velocity are available,measure the initial velocities cor-responding to the three tensionsteps of the throwing device byperforming 10 measurementseach with subsequent mean valuecalculation. Plot the measuredpoints in the diagram from Task 3.Give reasons for contingentsystematic deviations from thetheoretical curve.

1.5.09-11 Interference of acoustic waves, stationary waves and diffraction at a slot with PC interface

Principle:– Two acoustic sources emit waves

of the same frequency and if theirdistance is a multiple of the wave-length, an interference structurebecomes apparent in the spacewhere the waves are superim-posed.

– An acoustic wave impinges per-pendicularly onto a reflector, theincident and the reflected waveare superimposed to a stationarywave. In case of reflection, a pres-sure antinode will always occur atthe point of reflection.

– An acoustic wave impinges on asufficiently narrow slot, it is dif-fracted into the geometrical shad-ow spaces. The diffraction and theinterference pattern occurringbehind the slot can be explainedby means of the Huygens-Fresnelprinciple and confirm the wavecharacteristics of sound.

Measurement example, stationary waves.

Tasks:1. To measure the interference of

acoustic waves.

2. To analyze the reflection of acous-tic waves – stationary waves.

3. To measure the diffraction at aslot of acoustic waves.

A further partial packet hitsagainst a metal screen that is posi-tioned parallel to the connecting linebetween the transmitter and receiv-er, and is reflected in the direction ofthe receiver. The two packets of radi-ation interfere with each other atthe receiver. When the reflector ismoved parallel to itself, the differ-ence in the path lengths of the twopackets changes. According to thisdifference, either constructive or de-structive interference occurs.

The received signal as a function of the reflector distance d.

Tasks:1. The sliding device is to be used to

move the reflector screen posi-tioned parallel to the connectingline between the transmitter andreceiver parallel to itself in stepsof d = (0.5-1) mm. The reflectorvoltage U is to be recorded at eachstep.

2. The d values of the various maxi-ma and minima are to be deter-mined from the U = U(d) graphand compared with the theoreti-cally expected values.

Ultrasonic Michelson-Interferometer 1.5.22-00


Principle:A “semi-permeable“ membrane di-vides an ultrasonic wave into twopartial packets which travel at rightangles to each other. They are subse-quently reflected at different hardmetal reflectors, one of which is fixedin position, and the other of whichcan be displaced in the direction ofthe beam, before being reunited.Shifting the displaceable reflectorchanges the path length of the corre-sponding packet, so that superposi-tioning of the reunited partial pack-ets gives maxima and minima of thealternating sound pressure accordingto the differenc in the distance trav-elled. The wavelength of the ultra-sound can be determined from these.

Intensity of the alternating sound pressure as a function of the displacementd of reflector screen Sc2.

Tasks:1. Determine the intensity of the

alternating sound pressure in de-pendence on the displacement ofone of the reflectors.

Principle:An ultrasonic wave hits a straightedge which limits the wave field toone side. According to Huygens’principle, the edge is a point sourcefor secondary waves, and these pen-etrate also into the shaded area ofthe edge. In the transmission range,secondary waves interfere with theprimary waves, so that a successionof maxima and minima of the alter-nating sound pressure are createdtransverse to the edge.

Diffraction at an edge: Course of intensity of the alternating sound pressureas function of position coordinate x.

Tasks:1. Determine the intensity distribu-

tion of an ultrasonic wavediffracted at a straight edge as afunction of the transverse dis-tance from the edge.

2. Compare the positions of themaxima and minima found in theexperiment to those theoreticallyexpected.

3. Repeat the measurement of theintensity distribution of the ultra-sonic wave without the straightedge.

Kerr effect 2.6.02-00

Principle:Monochromatic, vertically polarizedlight impinges on a PLZT element(lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titani-um compount) which is set in itsholder at 45 ° to the vertical.

An electric field is applied to thePLZT element and causes it tobecome birefractive. The phase-shiftbetween the normal and the extraor-dinary light beam behind the PLZTelement is recorded as a function ofthe applied voltage and it is shownthat the phase-shift is proportionalto the square of the electric fieldstrength respectively of the voltageapplied. From the constant of pro-

portionality the Kerr constant is cal-culated for the PLZT element.

The Kerr effect has usually beendemonstrated with nitrobenzene inthe past. Since nitrobenzene is verytoxic and needs high voltages ofsome kV the PLZT element whichonly needs some hundred volts rep-resents an attractive alternative.

Relative luminous intensity behind the analyser as a function of the volt-II0

Tasks:1. The phase-shift between the nor-

mal and the extra-ordinary lightbeam is to be recorded for differ-ent voltages applied to the PLZT-element respectively for differentelectric field strengs.The half-wave voltage U is to be deter-mined.

2. By plotting the square of theapplied voltage versus the phaseshift between normal and extraor-dinary beam it is to be shown thatthe relation between the twoquantities is approximately linear.From the slope of the straight linethe Kerr constant is to be calcu-lated.

Principle:In contrast to normal photography ahologram can store information aboutthe three-dimensionality of an object.To capture the three-dimensionalityof an object, the film stores not onlythe amplitude but also the phase ofthe light rays. To achieve this, a co-herent light beam (laser light) is splitinto an object and a reference beamby being passed through a beam split-ter. These beams interfere in the planeof the holographic film. The hologramis reconstructed with the referencebeam which was also used to recordthe hologram.

Principle:The visible light of a semiconductordiode laser is used to excite theneodymium atoms within a Nd-YAG(Neodymium-Yttrium AluminiumGarnet) rod. The power output of thesemiconductor diode laser is firstrecorded as a function of the injec-tion current. The fluorescent spec-trum of the Nd-YAG rod is then de-termined and the maon absorptionlines of the Nd-atoms are verified.Conclusively, the mean life-time ofthe 4F3/2-level of the Nd-atoms ismeasured in appoximation.

Relative fluorescent power of the Nd-YAG rod as a function of the diodetemperature (wavelength) for I = 450 mA.

Tasks:1. To determine the power output of

the semiconductor diode laser as afunction of the injection current.

2. To trace the fluorescent spectrumof the Nd-YAG rod pumped by thediode laser and to verify the mainabsorption lines of neodymium.

3. To measure the mean life-time ofthe 4F3/2-level of the Nd-atoms.

Pump powermW

From graphic:Threshold power = 57 mW

From graphic:Slope efficiency: 30%

Principle:The rate equation model for an opti-cally pumped four-level laser systemis determined. As lasing medium, aNd-YAG (Neodymium-Yttrium Alu-minium Garnet) rod has been select-ed which is pumped by means of asemiconductor diode laser.

The IR-power output of the Nd-YAGlaser is measured as a function of theoptical power input and the slope ef-ficiency as well as the thresholdpower are determined.

Finally, a KTP-crystal is inserted intothe laser cavity and frequency dou-bling is demonstrated. The quadraticrelationship between the power ofthe fundamental wave and the beampower for the second harmonic isthen evident.

Nd-YAG laser power output as a function of the pump power = 808.4 nm.

Tasks:1. Set up the Nd-YAG laser and opti-

mize its power output.

2. The IR-power output of the Nd-YAG laser is to be measured as afunction of the pump power. Theslope efficiency and the thresholdpower are to be determined.

3. Verify the quadratic relationshipbetweenthe power of the funda-mental wave, with = 1064 nm,and the beam power of the secondharmonic with = 532 nm.

Optical pumping Spontaneous emission Induced emission Inversion Relaxation Optical resonator Resonator modes Polarization Frequency doubling


Principle:The beam of a laser diode is treatedin a way that it can be coupled intoa monomode fibre. The problemsrelated to coupling the beam intothe fibre are evaluated and verified.In consequence a low frequency sig-nal is transmitted through the fibre.The numerical aperture of the fibre isrecorded. The transit time of light

through the fibre is measured andthe velocity of light within the fibreis determined. Finally the measure-ment of the relative output power ofthe diodelaser as a function of thesupply current leads to the charac-teristics of the diodelaser such as“threshold energy” and “slopeefficiency”.

Tasks:1. Couple the laser beam into the

fibre and adjust the setting-up ina way that a maximum of output

2. Demonstrate the transmission of aLF – signal through the fibre.

3. Measure the numerical apertureof the fibre.

4. Measure the transit time of lightthrough the fibre and determinethe velocity of light within thefibre.

Principle:The state of a gas is determined byits temperature, its pressure and theamount of substance. For the limit-ing case of an ideal gas these statevariables are linked by the generalequation of state, from which specialcorrelations can be derived for spe-cific changes of state.

Tasks:For a constant amount of gas (air)investigate the correlation of

1. Volume and pressure at constanttemperature (Boyle and Mariotte’slaw)

2. Volume and temperature at con-stant pressure (Gay-Lussac’s law)

3. Pressue and temperature at con-stant volume (Charles’ (Amontons’law))

Correlation between pressure p and volume V for a constant quantity of air(n = 0.9536 mmol) during an isothermic change of state (T = 298.15 K).

Principle:According of Stefan-Boltzmann’slaw, the energy emitted by a blackbody per unit area and unit time isproportional to the power “four” ofthe absolute temperature of thebody. Stefan-Boltzmann’s law is alsovalid for a so-called “grey” bodywhose surface shows a wavelength-independent absorption-coefficientof less than one. In the experiment,the “grey” body is represented by thefilament of an incandescent lampwhose energy emission is investigat-ed as a function of the temperature.

Tasks:1. To measure the resistance of the

filament of the incandescent lampat room temperature and to ascer-tain the filament’s resistance R0

2. To measure the energy flux densityof the lamp at different heatingvoltages. The corresponding heat-ing currents read off for eachheating voltage and the corre-sponding filament resistance cal-culated. Anticipating a tempera-ture-dependency of the secondorder of the filament-resistance,the temperature can be calculatedfrom the measured resistances.

5.1.10-05 Zeeman effect /normal and anomalous version

Principle:The “Zeeman effect” is the splittingof the spectral lines of atoms withina magnetic field. The simplest is thesplitting up of one spectral line intothree components called “normalZeeman effect”. Usualy the phe-nomenon is more complex and thecentral line splits into many morecomponents. This is the “anomalousZeeman effect”. Both effects can bestudied using a cadmium lamp as aspecimen. The cadmium lamp is sub-mitted to different magnetic fluxdensities and the splitting of the redcadmium line (normal Zeeman effect)and that of a green cadmium line

Tasks:1. Using the Fabry-Perot interfero-

meter and a self made telescopethe splitting up of the central linesinto different lines is measured inwave numbers as a function of themagnetic flux density.

2. From the results of point 1. a valuefor Bohr’s magneton is evaluated.

3. The light emitted within thedirection of the magnetic field isqualitatively investigated.

Interference rings with the anomalous Zeeman effect.

(anomalous Zeeman effect) is inves-tigated using a Fabry-Perot interfer-ometer. The evaluation of the resultsleads to a fairly precise value forBohr’s magneton.

Stern-Gerlach experiment 5.1.11-01/11


Principle:A beam of potassium atoms generat-ed in a hot furnace travels along aspecific path in a magnetic two-wirefield. Because of the magnetic mo-ment of the potassium atoms, thenonhomogeneity of the field appliesa force at right angles to the direc-tion of their motion. The potassiumatoms are thereby deflected fromtheir path.

By measuring the density of thebeam of particles in a plane of de-tection lying behind the magnetic

field, it is possible to draw conclu-sions as to the magnitude and direc-tion of the magnetic moment of thepotassium atoms.

Tasks:1. Recording the distribution of the

particle beam density in the de-tection plane in the absence of theeffective magnetic field.

2. Fitting a curve consisting of astraight line, a parabola, and an-other straight line, to the experi-

Ionization current as a function of position (u) of detector with large excita-tion currents in the magnetic analyser.

3. Determining the dependence ofthe particle beam density in thedetection plane with different val-ues of the non-homogeneity ofthe effective magnetic field.

4. Investigating the positions of themaxima of the particle beam den-sity as a function of the non-ho-mogeneity of the magnetic field.

5.2.03-11 Poisson’s distribution and Gaussian distribution of radioactive decay with Cobra3– Influence of the dead time of the counter tube

Principle:1) The aim of this experiment is toshow that the number of pulsescounted during identical time inter-vals by a counter tube which bears afixed distance to a long-lived radia-tion emitter correspond to a Pois-son’s distribution. A special charac-teristic of the Poisson’s distributioncan be observed in the case of asmall number of counts n <20: Thedistribution is unsymmetrical, i. e.the maximum can be found among

smaller numbers of pulses than themean value. In order to show thisunsymmetry the experiment is car-ried out with a short counting periodand a sufficiently large gap betweenthe emitter and the counter tube sothat the average number of pulsescounted becomes sufficiently small.

2) Not only the Poisson’s distribution,but also the Guassian distributionwhich is always symmetrical is verysuitable to approximate the pulsedistribution measured by means of along-lived radiation emitter and a

Pulse rate distribution for high pulse rate (248 pulses/s) with an adaptedGaussian curve (left window) and a Poisson’s curve (right window).

counter tube arranged with a con-stant gap between each other. Apremise for this is a sufficiently highnumber of pulses and a large sam-pling size.

The purpose of the following experi-ment is to confirm these facts and toshow that the statistical pulse distri-bution can even be be approximatedby a Guassian distribution, when(due to the dead time of the countertube) counting errors occur leadingto a distribution which deviates fromthe Poisson’s distribution.

3) If the dead time of the countertube is no longer small with regardto the average time interval betweenthe counter tube pulses, the fluctua-tion of the pulses is smaller than inthe case of a Poisson’s distribution.In order to demonstrate these factsthe limiting value of the mean value(expected value) is compared to thelimiting value of the variance bymeans of a sufficiently large sam-pling size.



Visualisation of radioactive particles / Diffusion cloud chamber 5.2.04-00

Principle:Radioactivity is a subject in our soci-ety which has been playing animportant role throughout politics,economy and media for many yearsnow. The fact that this radiation can-not be seen or felt by the humanbeing and that the effects of thisradiation are still not fully exploredyet, causes emotions like no otherscientific subject before.

The high-performance diffusioncloud chamber serves for making the

tracks of cosmic and terrestrial radi-ation visible so that a wide range ofnatural radiation types can be iden-tified. Furthermore, the diffusioncloud chamber offers the opportu-nity to carry out physical experi-ments with the aid of artificial radi-ation sources.

Rutherford experiment 5.2.21-01/11/15


Principle:The relationship between the angleof scattering and the rate of scatter-ing of -particles by gold foil isexamined with a semiconductordetector. This detector has a detec-tion probability of 1 for -particlesand virtually no zero effect, so thatthe number of pulses agrees exactlywith the number of -particles strik-ing the detector.

In order to obtain maximum possiblecounting rates, a measurementgeometry is used which dates back

to Chadwick. It is also possible in thiscase to shift the foil and source in anaxial direction (thus deviating fromChadwick’s original apparatus), sothat the angle of scattering can bevaried over a wide range.

In addition to the annular diaphragmwith gold foil, a second diaphragmwith aluminium foil is provided inorder to study the influence of thescattering material on the scatteringrate.

Use is made for this pur-pose of the “Zoom” function, whichis an additional amplification stagehaving in the effect that only thatproportion of the pulses exceedingthe threshold voltage of 5 V under-goes further processing. The pulsepeaks above this threshold areamplified 5 times and restricted to amaximum of 10 V.

Tasks:1. The spectrum of an open 241Am-

emitter is recorded with the xyt-recorder at the maximum resolu-tion capacity of the measurementlayout, using automatic windowmovement. The energy of the twopeaks preceding the principal peakis calculated. The principal peak,corresponding to a particle energyof 5.486 MeV, is used for calibra-tion purposes.

Measured Alpha-spectrum of Am-241.

2. The resolution capacity of themeasurement layout is measuredfrom the half-life width of theprincipal peak.

Study of the -energies of 226Ra 5.2.23-01/11/15

Principle:An -spectrometer, consisting of asilicon surface barrier layer detector,a preamplifier, a pulse height analyz-er and a recording device for regis-tration of the spectra is calibrated bymeans of an open -emitter ofknown -energy (241Am).

The energy spectrum of a radiumsource which is in equilibrium withits decay products, is recorded and

evaluated. The -energies found inthis way are allocated to the corre-sponding nuclides of the radiumdecay series.

Tasks:1. The -spectrum of the 226Ra is

recorded, the settings of the pulseanalyzer (amplification) andrecorder (x and y input sensitivity)being selected so as to make bestpossible use of the recordingwidth.

2. The calibration spectrum of theopen 241Am-emitter is recorded atthe same settings.

226Ra pulse rate dependence of pulse height.

3. The -energies corresponding tothe individual peaks of the -spectrum of the radium are calcu-lated and, on the assumption of aconstant energy loss in the sourcecovering, the -active nuclides ofthe radium decay series corre-sponding to the individual peaksare determined on the basis of thevalues in the literature.

Principle:A study is made of the connectionbetween the energy E of -particlesand the path x travelled by them inair at standard pressure. The meas-urements recorded enable the diffe-rencial energy loss dE/dx to be cal-culated as a function of x.

Tasks:1. The spectrum of a covered 241Am

source is measured at a fixed dis-tance s as a function of the pres-sure p. The distance s is selectedin such a way as to correspond tothe maximum range at the highestpressure measurable with themanometer used. The energy cor-responding to the central points ofthe individual spectra are deter-mined (after calibration of themeasurement layout with an open241Am-emitter, see 3.) and plottedas a function of the distance xconverted to a 1013 hPa basis.Using this function, the differen-tial energy loss (–dE/dx) is thencalculated as a function of x andagain plotted on the graph.

2. The spectrum of the source usedin 1. is measured initially underthe same geometric conditionsunder vacuum and subsequentlywith the vessel filled with helium,nitrogen or carbon dioxide, ineach case under identical pres-sures. The different energy lossvalues are compared with theelectron concentration in the par-ticluar gas.

3. The mean energy with which the-particles leave the coveredamericium source is determinedby calibration against the openamericium emitter (E = 5.485MeV). (This value is required forthe evaluation in 1.)

Principle:The intensity of -radiation decreas-es when it passes through solid mat-ter. The attenuation can be the resultof Compton scattering, the photoeffect or the pair production. Anabsorption coefficient can be attrib-uted to each of the three phenome-na. These absorption coefficients, aswell as the total absorption, arehighly energy-dependent. The energydependence of the total absorptioncoefficient for aluminium in therange below 1.3 MeV is verified.

Total gamma-absorption coefficient as a function of the energy.

Tasks:1. For each of the emitting isotopes

Na22, Cs137 and Am241 the -spec-trum is traced and a tresholdenergy, Ethres, just below thephoto-peak in the high energyrange determined.

2. Using the scintillation counter inconjunction with the pulse heightanalyser as a monochromator, the-intensity is measured as a func-tion of the thickness of differentaluminium layers. The three -emitting isotopes are used succes-sively as the source, assuming thatthe energy of the emitted -radi-ation is known.
