Answer to Question #18937 in Optics for Adam

Question #18937

Why the full width at half maximum of the transmission peaks varies as the wavelength change ?

Expert's answer

The FWHM has to do with notabsolute uncertainty in the spectral line, but with the relative one, thus it depends on the magnitude of the spectrum variable (e.g. wavelength, wave number, etc.)
