Easy Observation of Infrared Spectral Lines
Cortel, Adolf
Physics Education, v47 n3 p293-296 May 2012
The spectra of some chemical elements display intense infrared (IR) lines that can be used more effectively than the ones in the visible region for identification purposes. A simple setup, based on the IR sensitivity of a handycam in nightshot mode, is described to record the visible as well as the IR spectra from decorative bulbs or salts on the flame of a Bunsen burner. (Contains 7 figures and 4 footnotes.)
