Question about spectral emission measurements of hydrogen

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the experimental parameters for measuring the emission spectrum of hydrogen (H) and molecular hydrogen (H2), specifically regarding gas pressures. Participants suggest consulting specifications for laboratory hydrogen discharge tubes to obtain typical values. The transition pressure range from H2 to H is noted as variable, depending on the specific application and experimental setup.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of emission spectroscopy
  • Familiarity with gas discharge tubes
  • Knowledge of hydrogen and molecular hydrogen properties
  • Basic laboratory techniques for gas handling
NEXT STEPS
  • Research typical specifications for laboratory hydrogen discharge tubes
  • Investigate the pressure ranges for H2 to H transitions in emission spectroscopy
  • Explore experimental setups for measuring hydrogen emission spectra
  • Learn about the applications of hydrogen spectroscopy in various fields
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and educators in physics and chemistry, particularly those involved in experimental spectroscopy and gas analysis.

Looking for typical experimental parameters for measuring emission spectrum of both H and H2, specifically gas pressures. Also would like to know typical pressure range where spectrum transitions from H2 to H. Thanks.

Welcome to PF;
Have you tried looking at the specs for laboratory hydrogen (and helium) discharge tubes?
You should be able to find a typical student rig in the nearest college teaching lab.

However, what counts as "typical" depends on the application.
