When a gas is very hot, it doesn’t emit all wavelengths of light. Hot gases don’t produce a continuous emission spectrum. Black hydrogen absorption lines are at the same wavelength as the ...
This causes line emission spectra to be produced, as shown below. This is not a continuous spectrum as only light of specific frequencies and specific colours are produced. Different types of ...
The right picture shows the visible spectrum of the sun lighting the blinds of the room. Specifics About CFL Emission Lines and Spectrometer Calibration The spectrometer must be calibrated every time ...
The spectrometer works best in darkness, though the black panels help if turning off most of the lights is impractical. The black panels should block everything on the camera's right-side field of ...
