    The last equation, @ 10:45 , where you say you need to use a memory function, you actually don't. The value that you put in memory, you can instead do 1/x, and then multiply with your d_nm. So I think both are quite beautiful.

      Thanks Abteen! I will not have the 5 largest magnet in the room at the same time ;) Instead of extending the ruler I could have moved the diffraction grating closer to the wall, but for consistency I chose to just extend the ruler x) Also turned out to be a nice way of illustrating indirectly how long the wavelength of the ancient laser pointer is. Greetings back from Denmark as always!

  • @kino4653
    @kino4653 6 лет назад +1

    Great video and presentation. I employed the same technic, but with a different formula to mesure the wavelength of my red cheap laser, and I found it was around 750 nm, I think it's correct because my laser is red, but not very precise as I don't have a diffraction grating and a good laser to check the CD, but it was a 700Mb one. My formula is this for 2 fents :
    i(distance between 2 spot of light) = λ(wavelength)*d(distance CD-wall)/a(distance between 2 fents : 1,5µm)
    λ = i(6 cm in my case)*a(1,5*10^(-6))/d(12cm in my case)
    λ = 0.06*1.5/(0.12*10^6)
    λ = 750*10^(-9) = 750nm which is red.
    But at 3:42, you wrote θ1= arctan(S1/2L), isn't it rather θ1 = artcan(S1/L). I know that with what you wrote, your results are right, but I have never used arctan like that. Even by defining the hypotenuse with the theorem of Pythagore, then using arcsin or arccos, I don't have the same formula as you.

    Going to try this to measure my "492nm" laser from Sanwu. I think you should test your 505nm too! Turns out the wavelength of many diode lasers very alot, (e.g. someone got 480nm from a 488nm diode, or 509nm from a 505nm diode) so it would be pretty interesting to see.
    P.s. as I finished typing I just remembered that you have a proper spectrometer.

  • @LtKernelPanic

    If you like lasers you should try to get your hands on a 589nm yellow. While far from cheap the golden yellow beam it produces is second only to my multiline argon as my favorite laser in my collection. The amber color from my 594.1nm HeNe is pretty sweet too.

    You don't need memory functions for those formulas! The standard calculator has a "1/x" button that gives you the inverse, which you can multiply straight away by the numerator to get the result.
