[Phys-l] Toy Spectrometers



I was tickled to find that among the many sites featuring how to make a spectrometer, was one that permits uploading a spectrum captured by a digital camera as a jpg which will depict or return a spectrogram or a comparison spectrogram. I see that a 1000 lpm diffraction grating (replica) is now an economical article of commerce.

This seems to imply that a few minutes of handiwork can provide spectrograms with 1 or 2 Angstrom resolving capability in the visual spectrum.
