prism material whichare traversed by the two extreme rays of the beam. In aproperly constructed spectroscope in which the beam of lightfrom the collimator just completely fills the prism, s^ is zero,and Jj equals the thickness of the prism base t; therefore g - - - (10) This may readily be seen to… … this, however, is the value of ^ from Fraunhofers equation,^ and thus Now, by equations (9) and (10) it follows that, for theminimum condition of resolution, omitting the constant m— Sfi (>i) or in other words—in order that two lines may be seen separatedin a prism spectroscope, it is necessary…
