A Super tek spectrum tube set with a power supply is an educational kit used to demonstrate atomic emission spectra. The system includes a power supply unit, which can be a standalone assembly or integrated with an optical bench, and individual spectrum tubes filled with specific gases like hydrogen, helium, or neon that are not typically included in the power supply unit itself. These sets allow for observing the unique, discrete line spectra of different elements and can be used for experiments such as calculating the Balmer series of Hydrogen.
Features
Power Supply: A dedicated power supply unit that provides the necessary voltage (often up to \(5000V\) open circuit) to excite the gases in the tubes.
Spectrum Tubes: Individual glass tubes containing low-pressure gases such as hydrogen, helium, neon, or others. These are sold separately from the power supply.
Optical Bench (Optional): Some kits may include an optical bench for arranging the tubes and other optical components for experiments.
