In the 13th century, Roger Bacon theorized that rainbows were produced by a similar process to the passage of light through glass or crystal. In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light, and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks. He was the first to use the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in this sens

UV-Visible Spectroscopy

Visible wavelengths cover a range from approximately 400 to 800 nm. The longest visible wavelength is red and the shortest is violet. Other common colors of the spectrum, in order of decreasing

Electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves, at the low-frequency end of the spectrum, have the lowest photon energy and the longest wavelengths—thousands of kilometers, or more. They

Physics 20400 Experiment 7

The Goal of this lab are to learn how to acquire the spectrum of a light source using a spectrometer and some scientific software, and to understand the graphs in relation to fundamental physics.

Spectra in the Lab

For example, a bar of iron heated in a fire glows dull red; if heated more it glows orange, and if heated well beyond its melting point it shines with a brilliant blue-white light.

Using the Spectrometer

In principle, one collects light from the stimulated atom, then passes it through a prism or diffraction grating to separate the light into its constituent wavelengths. One such device for this purpose is the

Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared Spectroscopy is the analysis of infrared light interacting with a molecule. This can be analyzed in three ways by measuring absorption, emission and
