Abstract
A method is presented for displaying images and graphs of spectra on a single screen in the classroom. This demonstration can be used in discussions of atomic line spectra, absorbance spectroscopy, and solid-state bonding. The simultaneous display of both forms of the spectra helps students to make connections between the qualitative, visual spectra and quantitative, graphical representations.
Supplement
Spectral data, large images of light sources, and additional material are available.
