Zeeman Effect Lab Homework: Measuring Rings for Bohr Magneton

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on challenges faced in a Zeeman Effect lab assignment aimed at measuring the Bohr magneton. The main issue is uncertainty about how to accurately measure the rings produced in the experiment. Participants suggest that using a ruler is acceptable, but clarity on the number of rings to measure per image is also sought. Accurate measurements are crucial for obtaining reliable results in the lab. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of proper measurement techniques in this physics experiment.

Homework Statement


I'm having huge issues on the Zeeman Effect lab- the goal being to get the Bohr magneton. The problem is I do not know how to measure the rings. Can I simply measure this with a ruler? How many of the rings do I have to measure in one picture?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
