Let a collimatcd beam of white light fall on one refracting face of a prism and let the light emerging from the second face be focused by a lens onto a screen. Suppose that the linear dispersion at the screen is 20 Å/mm. By introducing a narrow “exit slit” in the screen, one has a type of monochromator that provides a nearly monochromatic beam of light. Sketch the setup. For an exit slit of 0.02 cm, what is the coherence time and coherence length of the light of mean wavelength 5000 Å?
