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.


Where can one purchase plastic grating panels?

Plastic grating panels can be purchased from a local hardware store such as The Home Depot or Lowes. These hardware stores will typically cut the grating panels down if required. Alternatively, many online stores sell plastic grating panels, but the shipping cost might be expensive.


What are the different types of stainless-steel grating available?

Stainless steel metal bar grating is one of the most common flooring types found in industrial operations. Safe to walk on, while allowing hazardous materials and fluids to pass through, these grates also offer great strength-to-weight ratios. They are available in many materials, although stainless steel is probably the most common. Typical types of stainless-steel grating include: • Welded grating. This is the most commonplace type of grating, with individual welds at each intersection between the bearing bar and the cross bar. • Dovetail pressure-locked grating. These grates utilize pre-punched notches in the bearing and cross bars, which are then locked together under high pressure. Pressure-locked grating is more aesthetically appealing, while still strong. • Swage-locked grating. This manufacturing method utilizes pre-punched holes in the bearing bars, which are then mechanically attached to pegs or bars with hydraulic deformation. • Riveted grating. For maximum strength, these grates utilize rivets at all contact points between the bearing and connector bars.


Velocity of ultrasonic wave using acoustic grating?

The ultrasonic waves generated with the help of a quartz crystal inside the liquid in a container sets up standing wave pattern consisting of nodes and anti-nodes. The nodes are transparent and anti-nodes are opaque to the incident light. In effect the nodes and anti-nodes are acts like grating(a setup of large number of slits of equal distance) similar to that of rulings in diffraction grating. It is called as acoustic grating or aqua grating. Hence, by using the condition for diffraction, we can find the wavelength of ultrasound and thereby the velocity of sound in the liquid medium.
