A text I am reading noted that as a multichromatic light source (consisting of many individual peaks) is passed through the my slit (order .25mm) the peaks will be spread over the neighboring wavelengths in a roughly Gaussian distribution. I am trying to understand why this is, and how I would go about finding the FWHM of the spread in wavelength space.
my application for this is Raman spectroscopy. For my work the light is scattering at 580nm 607nm along with a few others for vibrational transitions, and from 532-560ish for rotational transitions.
