Photoconductivity Experiment
OBJECTIVES
- To study the photoconductivity of CdS Photoresistor, in the following conditions:
- Applied voltage vs photocurrent (IPH) at constant irradiance (Φ).
- Photocurrent (IPH) vs irradiance (Φ) at a constant applied voltage (V).
PRINCIPLE
The phenomenon of photoconductivity occurs when an incident light shown upon a semiconductor causes an increase in its electrical conductivity. This is because of the excitation of electrons across the energy gap into the conduction band, which leads to an increase in the number of free carriers in the conduction band, hence, an increase in the conductivity of the semiconductor. Here, we can study the characteristics of the CdS photoresistor under different conditions of light intensity and applied voltage.

Single Slit Experiment
OBJECTIVES
- To find the wavelength of a given laser using the slit of known width.
- To find the slit width knowing the wavelength of light used.
- Proving the concept of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
PRINCIPLE
Diffraction is a phenomenon of bending of waves when it encounters obstacles or narrow opening. A basic setup to observe diffraction consists of a laser, a slit, screen placed at a distance. The wavefronts are partially obstructed by the slit. The intensity distribution of the diffraction pattern consists of a series of light and dark fringes with the intensity distribution symmetric along the central axis. The primary peak is called the central maxima. The corresponding peaks are called secondary, and tertiary maxima. This is studied using the single-slit experiment.

Atomic Spectra Experiment
OBJECTIVES
- To understand the concept of diffraction of light.
- To measure and analyze the emission spectral lines of different elements.
PRINCIPLE
The source of electromagnetic radiation is atoms. When the atoms of an element are in an excited state, they return to a lower energy state by emitting electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The transition of the electrons in the atom from a higher energy level to lower unique energy levels for the occupation of electrons, due to this the EM spectrum emitted is a unique signature of an element or a substance. The study of the characteristics of EM radiation emitted by atoms is called Atomic Emission Spectroscopy.

Pin Diode Characteristics Experiment
OBJECTIVES
- To study the response of PIN diode, in the following conditions:
- Photocurrent (Iph) vs Applied voltage at constant irradiance (Φ) under Reverse biased condition of the PIN diode.
- Current (I) vs Voltage (V) under forward bias condition of the PIN diode.
PRINCIPLE
The PN-Junction diodes, though versatile, have a few limitations regarding the amount of current they could handle before breakdown and also have low switching frequency, low power handling capacity, and low quantum efficiency. To overcome all these issues PIN diode was designed. PIN diodes are also extensively used as photo diodes in PIN photodiode configuration and are very important in optical fiber communication.

Malus Law Experiment
OBJECTIVES
- To experimentally verify malus’s law.
PRINCIPLE
Light, when modeled as a wave phenomenon, can be classified as a transverse electromagnetic wave consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are oriented perpendicular to each other. Depending on the orientation of the plane of polarization of the electric field with respect to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave can be classified as polarized or un-polarized. To measure the variation of transmission of an EM wave through two polarizers as a function of the angle of orientation between them and prove Malus’s Law.MLE1-C
