NOTES ON EXPERIMENTS: Measurement of the critical potentials of helium
Abstract
An instructive experiment in the first-year undergraduate physics laboratory is the measurement of the critical potentials of helium using the 533 Teltron tube. In this experiment the student observes directly the quantum nature of the energy levels of isolated gas atoms and can construct his own simplified energy level diagram.
