The PASCO Educational Spectrophotometer completely assembled with the diffraction grating.
The first order spectra of mercury as seen through a diffraction grating.
Setup:
See the comprehensive Spectroscopy Instrument Guide created by the ND Demos team for information on how to set-up, operate, and troubleshoot the spectrophotometer. Possible experiments are also included.
Notes:
What can you do with the spectrophotometer?
Examine the emission or absorption spectrum of different elements
Create a black-body radiation curve
Measure the fluorescence of a solution
Measure infrared radiation
Use filters in conjunction with any other experiment to see which wavelengths of light they block
