Preferred Label : dispersion (for spectroscopic instruments);
IUPAC definition : Dispersion of a material dn/dλ where n refractive index and λ wavelength; angular
dispersion dΦ/dλ where Φ angle; and linear dispersion d x d λ where x separation
of spectral lines. The reciprocal of the last-named quantity is more frequently used
(dλ/dx), and is commonly expressed in Å mm-1.;
