From Solar Spark, this simple activity allows students to make a spectrometer using a card box and a compact disc. The compact disc acts as a diffraction grating and splits the light being observed into its constituent wavelengths.
How do you make a homemade spectrometer?
- Cut a 1" slit on the side of the cereal box just below the nutrition information.
- Cut a slit across the opposite side of the box and extend it 1" on either side at an angle 45 degrees above the horizontal. ...
- Slide a CD into this slit.
- Make an eye hole on the bottom of the box below the CD.
What is DIY spectrometer?
A spectrometer takes light from some source and splits it into its different wavelengths, creating a rainbow effect you see with a prism. A spectrometer takes light from some source and splits it into its different wavelengths. ... The simplest way to do this is with some type of diffraction grating.
