Physics307L F09:People/Gleicher/e diffraction
DH 2
The first day of the experiment the equipment was not operating according to the lab manual, and therefore we spent the day troubleshooting the CRT and voltage supplies.
Here is a link to a diagram of the CRT
A write-up of the initial troubleshooting methodology: Physics307L_F09:People/Gleicher/Notebook/070910
After Bill Miller discovered that an extra voltage was required on the CRT (5-12 Volts in parallel with heater voltage), we proceeded to take data Physics307L_F09:People/Gleicher/Notebook/070917.
Using Bragg's Law: 2*a*sin*[math]\displaystyle{ theta }[/math]=m*[math]\displaystyle{ lambda }[/math]
