What does a monochromator do?

  • A.Splits the beam between sample and reference
  • B.Converts light into an electrical signal
  • C.Removes stray light from the sample compartment
  • D.Selects a narrow band of wavelengths

Answer: D

A monochromator disperses the source's light with a prism or a grating and passes only a narrow band through its exit slit. Beam splitting is the chopper's or the beam splitter's job, conversion is the detector's, and stray light rejection is a matter of baffles and gratings rather than the primary function. Since the Beer-Lambert law assumes a single wavelength, the narrowness of that band is what decides how well the law holds. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
