Which of the following is not a reason Fourier transform instruments displaced dispersive ones?

Their spectral resolution is inherently unlimited

All wavelengths are measured throughout the scan

A large aperture replaces a narrow slit

A reference laser gives excellent wavelength accuracy

  • A.Their spectral resolution is inherently unlimited
  • B.All wavelengths are measured throughout the scan
  • C.A large aperture replaces a narrow slit
  • D.A reference laser gives excellent wavelength accuracy

Answer: A

Resolution is not unlimited: it is set by the mirror's travel, so a higher resolution needs a longer and more precisely engineered scan. The other three are the genuine advantages, named after Fellgett, Jacquinot and Connes respectively. A claim that a technique has no limit at all is worth doubting immediately, since every instrument's resolution is bounded by something physical.
