Abstract The purpose of my experiment is to better understand the unique characteristics of light. As part of this study, I will construct a working spectrometer. I constructed the spectrometer with the help from an organization called Public Lab. As part of the project, I will also test and compare the results of 5 variations of water, with different levels of sugar. This will prove that the spectrometer can detect the changes in the substances, more specifically the sugar levels in the samples.
