Fabrication of a low-cost and high-resolution papercraft smartphone spectrometer
http://arxiv.org/abs/1910.12616v1 · arxiv
We demonstrated the fabrication of a low-cost and high-resolution papercraft smartphone spectrometer and characterized its performance by recording spectra from gas discharge lamps. The optical design and a lab-made narrow slit used in the fabrication led to fine images of the slit on the image sens

Smartphone screens as astrometric calibrators
http://arxiv.org/abs/2303.04961v2 · arxiv
Geometric optical distortion is a significant contributor to the astrometric error budget in large telescopes using adaptive optics. To increase astrometric precision, optical distortion calibration is necessary. We investigate using smartphone OLED screens as astrometric calibrators. Smartphones ar

Visualizing acoustical beats with a smartphones
http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.01370v2 · arxiv
In this work, a new Physics laboratory experiment on Acoustics beats is presented. We have designed a simple experimental setup to study superposition of sound waves of slightly different frequencies (acoustic beat). The microphone of a smartphone is used to capture the sound waves emitted by two eq
