This Month in Physics History
Electric power is an aspect of modern life that most of us take for granted. And while the general public associates Thomas Edison with its invention and the development of transmission processes, the methods used today are largely due to the efforts of Nikola Tesla.

The true colours of white light: hands-on optical spectrometry
The true colours of white light: hands-on optical spectrometry Robert Fischer (Submitted on 26 Apr 2012) Although the observation of optical spectra is common practice in physics classes, students are usually limited to a passive, qualitative observation of nice colours. This article discusses a diffraction-based spectrometer that allows students to take quantitative measurements of spectral bands. Students can build it within minutes from generic low-cost materials. The spectrometer's simple, didactic design allows students to fully comprehend the underlying physical concepts and to engage in a discussion on measurement errors and uncertainties.
