Plastic Spectrometer
(LSE) |
Plastic Spectrometer Hailed as "one of the very best, affordable scientific instruments" by the Astronomical Society Pacific, the Project STAR spectrometer is made of high-impact plastic for years of classroom service and comes completely assembled. The spectrometer uses high-dispersion, high-efficiency diffraction grating that produces an easily-read bright spectrum. Includes a reference label for bright spectral lines and a scale labeled in both electron volts and nanometers for chemistry and physics instruction. Also includes a 10-page activity booklet. The activities include: Observing what diffraction grating does |
• identifying various light sources
• identifying elements in flame spectra, solar spectra and street lights including mercury, sodium, hydrogen and neon. |
