What does an order-sorting filter do?

  • A.Blocks unwanted diffraction orders reaching the detector
  • B.Removes stray light from the source lamp
  • C.Selects between the ultraviolet and visible sources
  • D.Attenuates the beam to protect the detector

Answer: A

It passes the wanted order and blocks the shorter wavelengths that would arrive in a higher order at the same angle. Stray light, source switching and attenuation are other functions. Without it a reading in the visible could be contaminated by ultraviolet light the grating has folded onto the same path, and the error would look like a departure from Beer's law rather than an instrumental artefact.
