Sources YOU TELL ME!
I l Sources of radiation Blackbody Radiation:
Monochromator – can vary wavelength – scan spectrum Prism – shorter wavelengths dispersed more
Types of gratings – most common – echellette UV-visible 1200 –1400 grooves /mm IR hundreds of grooves/mm Holographic Gratings – made by laser technology – very cheap, easy to make and very reproducible, can produce up too 6000 grooves/mm.
Effective Bandwidth – Dleff = wD-1 reciprocal linear dispersion, the inverse of the linear dispersion (D, mm/nm), which is the spreading of the light by a monochromator grating. d is the distance between blazes on the grating, and F is the focal length of the monochromator. w= slitwidth when Dy = w, Dl is the effective bandwidth
Example: To tell the difference between 589.6 and 589.0 nm light, what slitwidth would be required?
