Introduction
Spectroscope. Spectrometer is the machine to give the readings.
Spectroscope can be made using
- Diffraction grating; eg. CD or DVD disk, or
- Natural gratings: Striated muscle, peacock feathers, mother-of-pearl, and butterfly wings. Some invertebrate animals, like the peacock spiders, the antennae of seed shrimp, and Burgess Shale fossils
- Iridescence in birds, fish and insects is often caused by thin-film interference
- Prism
Theory
Interference.

Below is collection of some tutorials.
DVD: Cut out a section of the DVD and then carefully peel it into two pieces. Use the clear piece.
Two different:
- Look-through
- Use the reflection
CD and DVD and a paper tube. Paint black.
- Remove the reflective layer form the cd using tape. Make sure the lines of the cd are parallel to de slit on top of the roll. Look thought the cd. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Spectroscope/

- The viewing hole doesn’t need to be too big as we want to avoid outside light from getting into this hole. https://www.moonbow.world/homemade-spectroscope/
Diffraction grating
- Point the thin slit at a light source (light bulb, lamp, etc.) and look through the transparent diffraction grating. You will see light diffracted on the right and left sides. https://www.instructables.com/A-Simple-Spectroscope/

- Use "an analogue pocket spectroscope".
