• Explore the action of colour filters • Demonstrate diffraction at different wavelengths • Calculate the wavelength for each LED colour
• Measure the voltage across each LED and determine Planck’s Constant graphically
• Compliant to EN61010-2010 with certificates available on request
This visually appealing device clearly illustrates the relationship between colour and wavelength. 7 coloured LEDs plus white, span the visible spectrum. Mounted in a robust vertical column,
the LEDs can easily be viewed by a whole class.
Depending on the diffraction grating used, first, second and third order fringes can be observed and used for calculations. The LED.line has a rotary switch to allow users to select and measure the voltage across each individual LED. Knowing these voltages and the wavelength for each LED, Planck’s Constant can be determined. Students have a great opportunity to consider and minimise the sources of error in their experimental work. Teacher’s notes are included on CD. 5V Power supply included.
CP053544 kit £112.08 IS IT REALLY YELLOW?
With LED.line alongside the LED.mixer, students can use a simple spectroscope to explore the difference between light from the yellow LED, and yellow light produced by mixing red and green light. Use the LED.line with a spectrometer to make measurements of the wavelength of light for a range of colours.
