密立根油滴实验数据处理的一种新方法

密立根油滴实验,设备简单,方法巧妙,所得结果精确可靠、堪称实验物理的典范。但在实验数据处理方面,特别是用计算机处理数据方面还不够理想。本文介绍直接求解密立根油滴半径的方法和在考虑误差的情况下,用计算机求各油滴所带电量测定值Q(K)的最大公约数的一种新方法及程序。该程序思路清晰,说服力强,基本解决了在一定误差范围内求各油滴电量Q(K)*的最大公约数问题。

A NEW METHOD OF DEALING WITH DATA IN MILLIKAN OIL-DROP EXPERIMENT

The instrument of Millikan oil-drop method is simple, the method is. ingenious, and the result obtained is reliable. It is the model of experimental physics. However, it is not ideal in dealing with data of this experiment by a computer. The method of finding radius of oil-drop anda new method and programme of finding the greatest common divisor of Q (K) under the condition of errors are given in this paper. The train of thought in this method is clear and it is convinced. It has basically solved the problem of finding the greatest commen divisor of Q (K) within the limits of certain errors.
