Estimating the Infrared Radiation Wavelength Emitted by a Remote Control Device Using a Digital Camera
Catelli, Francisco; Giovannini, Odilon; Bolzan, Vicente Dall Agnol
Physics Education, v46 n2 p219-222 Mar 2011
The interference fringes produced by a diffraction grating illuminated with radiation from a TV remote control and a red laser beam are, simultaneously, captured by a digital camera. Based on an image with two interference patterns, an estimate of the infrared radiation wavelength emitted by a TV remote control is made. (Contains 4 figures.)
