Table 1: A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of using a reflective diffraction grating and a prism to disperse light in a monochromator. Entries in bold are more advantageous.

For dispersion of light in spectrometers for detection, the increased affordability of diffraction gratings means that prisms tend to be used only for applications where the poor transmission of ...

When it comes to smartphone cameras, bigger is better. Larger image sensors and lenses have more light to work with, so they ...

Modern spectroscopes often replace the prism with narrow slits called diffraction grating. The slits spread the light into different wavelengths by different amounts, which makes it possible to ...

The simplest way to do this is with some type of diffraction ... of light constructively interfere at different angles. The result is this rainbow effect you see with a prism.

Newton deals mainly with the phenomena of the reflection and refraction of light, with the decomposition of white light into the spectrum when passing through a prism, with the colors ... and with the ...
