VERNIER EMISSIONS SPECTROMETER
The Vernier Emissions Spectrometer allows you to instantly collect emissions spectra from light bulbs, gas discharge tubes or the sun. Capture data and analyse it immediately on your computer or LabQuest.
The perfect tool to conduct emissions analysis as it connects directly to your computer or LabQuest with a standard USB cable and gives precise measurements over a range of 350–900nm.

We recommend using the Vernier Emissions Spectrometer without an optical fibre for measuring spectra of large sources such as the sun or for comparing types of light bulbs.

An optical fibre (VSP-EM-FIBER) is recommended for analysing the emissions of a gas spectrum tube.

Specifications:
• Power Supply: USB powered

Included:
• Vernier Emissions Spectrometer
• USB cable
• User manual

Educational use only:
Vernier and Kidwind products are designed for educational use. They are not appropriate for industrial, medical or commercial applications. Details

  This product is used in teaching these Australian Curriculum codes:
  ACSCH019 - Chemical fundamentals - Properties and structure of atoms - Flame tests and atomic absorption spectroscopy are analytical techniques that can be used to identify elements; these methods rely on electron transfer between atomic energy levels
  ACSPH138 - Revolutions in modern physics - Quantum theory - Atoms of an element emit and absorb specific wavelengths of light that are unique to that element; this is the basis of spectral analysis
  ACSPH136 - Revolutions in modern physics - Quantum theory - On the atomic level, electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets called photons; the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency; and the constant of proportionality, Planck’s constant, can be determined experimentally (fo
  ACSPH139 - Revolutions in modern physics - Quantum theory - The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom integrates light quanta and atomic energy states to explain the specific wavelengths in the hydrogen spectrum and in the spectra of other simple atoms; the Bohr model enables line spectra to be correlated with atomic en
