My first reason why plastic should be banned is…

I didn’t really need this product to keep my car company at the top.…

This lab module covers the subjects of optical spectroscopy of gas discharges and bond stiffness of materials. Optical spectroscopy can be observed using different types of equipment, such as, a spectrometer, a light collecting fiber, and tubes of certain types of gas (He, H2O, H2 and O2). The data collected displays the peak wavelengths for each of the gases, which can be used to determine the energy released when the electrons change energy levels. Overall, it was interesting to see how…
