$A$ mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying the frequency dependence of photoelectric emission,as it provides a number of spectral lines ranging from the $UV$ to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with a rubidium photocell,the following lines from a mercury source were used:
$\lambda_1 = 3650 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_2 = 4047 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_3 = 4358 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_4 = 5461 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_5 = 6907 \,\mathring{A}$
