Use a miniature spectrometer
on-line to a PC to study the wavelength and temperature dependence of radiation
emitted by the filament of an incandescent light bulb. Light is transmitted via
a fiber optic cable to a small diffraction grating mounted directly on a PC
card; the spectrum is read out via a pixellated CCD array.
This is the Ocean Optics spectrometer which is
located inside the PC.
The blue "cable" on the right is the
optical fiber that transmits the light to the spectrometer inside the
computer.
