Code Number: 7B11.60
Demo Title: Spectral Lines/Spectroscopy - "Glo-doodler"
Condition: Excellent
Principle: Spectra of Various Gases, Spectral Lines of Elements
Area of Study: Modern Physics, Optics, Astronomy
Equipment:
Holographic grating, overhead slit mask, Glo-doodler.
Procedure:
See also: 7B11.60 in Astronomy.
Set the equipment up as shown in the picture and position the Glo-doodler over the slit. If desired, only position Glo-doodler over half of the slit so that you can see the continuous white light spectrum and the absorption spectrum at the same time.
