Code Number: 7B10.17
Demo Title: Prism Spectrometer
Condition: Fair
Principle: Spectroscopy
Area of Study: Modern Physics
Equipment:
Pasco student spectrometer with prism, light sources.
Procedure:
Place the prism onto the stage of the spectrometer and calibrate. This will take considerable time so make allowances. Then place the desired light source in front of the slit.
