Spectrographs,and, Monochromators,

Are monochromators and spectral dispersive systems the same

Dispersive spectrometers can be further classified into two types: monochromators and spectrographs. As the name suggests, dispersive spectrometers generate spectra by optically dispersing the incoming radiation into its frequency or spectral components, as illustrated in the figure below. The name is from Greek mono- 'single'; chroma 'colour' and Latin -ator 'denoting an agent'. 2 "The Structure of a Spectrophotometer". Light containing various wavelengths can be broken down according to the wavelength. White light (containing many. In this volume, we will describe the monochromator, an important part of the spectrophotometer that was explained in UV TALK LETTER Vol.
