 Room setup; note how setups are staggered |
|
 Side view: spectrometer on platform |
 If there aren't enough platforms, other wood chunks can be used. |
 Sodium sources are set up on back side of rear benches when only 6 spectrometers are used |
 Both sides of the sodium source are used |
 The slit aperture on sodium source (Note that rods are removed during use!) |
 A light aperture (center) with the rods removed is used on the side(s) of the sodium source observed with a spectrometer. A light block (left) is used if a side of the source is not used |
 Sodium source placed on right-side bench along wall when 7 or 8 spectrometers are used |
 Demo bulbs and 2x2 diffraction gratings set up on right-side bench (L-R): Incandescent bulb (continuous spectrum); Helium; Neon; Argon; Reveal© bulb (absorption spectrum). Note black cloth behind bulbs |
