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.

Q: 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?

What is the relation between bandwith and gain?

The product of bandwidth and gain is constant. If bandwidth increases then gain decreases and vice versa.


What is the relationship between gain and bandwidth?

The basic relationship is that the two together form some kind of constant wherein you cannot have more of one without giving up some of the other. Want more gain? You'll have to work with a narrower bandwidth. Want more bandwidth? You will have to sacrifice some gain to get it.

Is displaying the attributes of a file delay sensitive or bandwidth sensitive?

it is delay sensitive becoz it doesnt require constant stream for data transfer which is related to bandwidth.


Why gain bandwidth product is constant?

The gain and bandwidth product is constant only for first order systems. However many complex systems which can be converted and studied as first order, it holds good. This is simple mathematics as in the first order system the frequency appears in the denominator. So if it increases by x times then gain (the modulus of the transfer function) is reduced by x times (approximately).
