Study of light dispersion

The spectroscope
1.Aim of the project:Study and observation the dispersion of light
phenomena.Operating with the spectroscope with prism.Obtaining the
emission and absorbtion spectrum.
2.Theory of the experiment.
The dispersion phenomena of the electromagnetic waves consists of the
dependency of the refraction index n, of substances, on the angular
frequency ,respectively on the wave length of the light.
The function n=n()=n() is called dispersion solution.Estamblishment of
the explicit form of the dispersion relation can be made by the classical
model of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and the
substance.
In classical theory, it is considered that the light is an electromagnetic
wave with angular frequency ,and molecule of substance as an
aggregate of k oscillators of mass mk and electric charge qk.The electric
field of the electromagnetic wave of amplitude E determine forced
oscillations of the oscillators of elongation rk.At the molecule level,this
phenomena implies the emergence of an electric dipole momentum of
magnitude.
