The difference between prism splitting and grating splitting
The difference between grating spectrophotometry and prism spectrophotometry for the same light source is as follows:
1. The generated spectral patterns are different:
Prism splitting only produces one set of spectra, while grating splitting produces multiple sets of spectra.
2. Different principles of utilization:
Spectral gratings are based on the principle of diffraction. A spectral grating is based on light of different wavelengths and colors. After passing through the grating, the distribution of bright lines in the diffraction pattern is different. Prism is composed of the principle of refraction, and prism spectrophotometry is composed of different refractive indices of light of different colors in the same medium.
3. Different resolutions:
Generally speaking, grating spectra are finer and have higher resolution. Prism spectral resolution is not as good as grating spectral resolution.
The principles of grating spectroscopy and prism spectroscopy are different, using different expressions for diffraction and refraction of light of different wavelengths.
The spectral maps drawn by the two are different. Grating splitting generates multiple spectra. Light waves diffract at each slit. Light waves interfere with each other after being diffracted by all narrow slits. The interference fringes formed by diffracted light are localized at infinity. And the prism produces a set of spectra.
The resolutions of the two are different. The grating resolution is relatively high. The resolution of prism spectra varies with wavelength. The resolution of the shortwave part is greater than that of other parts. Prism spectra possess; Non uniform arrangement;.
The grating splitter provides greater dispersion and spectral line separation, which can provide more interference levels and higher resolution. However, its disadvantage is that the grating diffracts light energy, reducing the brightness of spectral lines.
Prism spectroscopy provides a small amount of dispersion, with a small angle of spectral line separation and low resolution. In other words, the spectral line width is not as narrow as the grating, and it mainly utilizes different refractive indices for spectral analysis. But the brightness of the spectral lines will be very good because there are not many interference energy levels formed, and the energy is relatively concentrated!!
