LED Emission Spectra I. OBJECTIVES. In this lab you will learn how to use a spectrometer in order to analyze the light emitted by a variety of sources. In particular you will complete the following tasks: a. Examine the continuous spectrum emitted by an incandescent lamp. b. Determine the wavelengths emitted by a hydrogen lamp. c. Determine the range of wavelengths emitted by four LEDs. d. Determine the cutoff wavelength of two optical filters. II. EQUIPMENT. Grating spectrometer, LEDs and associated power supply, voltmeter and ammeter, Hydrogen lamp, incandescent lamp, optical
