Application and teaching of solid Fabry-Perot etalon in Zeeman effect experiment
Zeeman effect experiment is the important part of the modern physics experiment course in universities.It is the air-gap Fabry-Perot etalon that is commonly used in most universities to be the spectral component.The teaching and application of the solid Fabry-Perot etalon in Zeeman effect experiments were described in this paper,the basic principle of Fabry-Perot cavity was recalled and the distribution characteristics of fringe pattern was analyzed as well.The path adjustment and spec-tral lines observation were given by combining the related phenomena and analysis,and so on.The whole experimental process could deepen students'understanding about the the basic principle of Fab-ry-Perot etalon.
