Why must the slit width of a prism monochromator be varied to provide constant effective bandwidths but a nearly constant slit width provides cnstant bandwidth with a grating monochromator?
Prisms and gratings have different dispersive properties. Grating has a linear dispersion of wavelengths meaning the band on the focal plane varies linearly with the wavelength. Prisms are not linear, the shorter the wavelength the greater the dispersion. Thus, when a spectrum is being scanned, the dispersive device needs to rotates different amounts depending on whether it is prism or grating to focus light on the exit slit. If its grating, the slit width will need to be varied minimally; if it is a prism, the slit width will need larger changes as the dispersion gets greater.
Which phenomenon produces the colors in soap bubble?
dispersion of light
What is the name given to the band of coloured lights that dispersion produces?
spectrum
What is Difference between prismatic spectrum and grating spectrum?
Grating spectrum is a spectrum produced as a result of diffraction, as by a grating.Whereas prismatic spectrum is a consequence of dispersion of light by a prism. In grating spectrum you also observe different orders of spectral lines which does not happen in prismatic spectrum. Hope this helps VIBHAV ZUTSHI B.Tech '13 IIT Kharagpur
What is main difference between prism spectrum and grating spectrum?
Prism spectrum is formed due to DISPERSION but grating spectrum is formed due to DIFFRACTION. In prism spectrum we have only one order but in grating spectrum we can have second order too IN prism spectrum we have continuous spectrum but in gratings we have only line spectrum In prism spectrum red end will be closer to the direct ray but in grating spectrum violet end will be closer to the direct ray
A diffraction grating produces a first-order maximum at an angle of 20.0 degrees what is the angle of the second order maximum?
65.6
What is meant by grating spectrum?

What is grating constant?
Grating constant is the distance between two rulings present on the grating plate.
Is fiberglass grating better than metal grating?
Metal grating will generally be more durable and trouble free. I would not suggest fiberglass for a good grating material.
How do you compare the prism and grating spectrum?
Grating spectra is made of a series of step like material where the beam of light hits either the short face (echelle) or the long face (echellette) which disperses the beam into separate wavelengths. Prisms can be made in different ways but they theory is based on refractive index. The beam passes through the prism and the wavelengths disperse, where dispersion increases with shorter wavelength.
What are types of dispersion?
the three types of dispersion are: 1. Intermodal Dispersion 2. Chromatic Dispersion 3. Waveguide Dispersion
When was John of the Grating born?
John of the Grating was born in 1098.
