Abstract
Teachers usually introduce light and its spectrum to students using standard sources such as hydrogen, spectroscopes (with or without a slit and scale), and a wall chart for spectrum identification. The stunning beauty of spectra is immediately appreciated, but where do we go from there?

Resolving Spectral Lines with a Periscope-Type DVD Spectroscope
Fumitaka WakabayashiJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 849Resolving Spectral Lines with a Periscope-Type DVD Spectroscope
Fumitaka WakabayashiJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 849A new type of DVD spectroscope, the periscope type, is described and the numerical analysis of the observed emission and absorption spectra is demonstrated. A small and thin mirror is put inside and an eighth part of a DVD is used as a grating. Using this ...
Simultaneous Display of Spectral Images and Graphs Using a Web Camera and Fiber-Optic Spectrophotometer
Brian K. Niece , Gary A. LouriganJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 761Simultaneous Display of Spectral Images and Graphs Using a Web Camera and Fiber-Optic Spectrophotometer
Brian K. Niece , Gary A. LouriganJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 761A method is presented for displaying images and graphs of spectra on a single screen in the classroom. This demonstration can be used in discussions of atomic line spectra, absorbance spectroscopy, and solid-state bonding. The simultaneous display of both ...
