In this regard, why does Schuster's method work?
Schuster's Method. Obtaining the slit image in the field of view the table carrying the prism is slowly rotated. It is observed that the image moving in one direction suddenly reverses its direction of motion. It makes the prism to rotate so that the angle of incidence is increased by a little.
Likewise, how do you level a prism table? Place prism table, note that the surface of the table is just below the level of telescope and collimator. Place spirit level on prism table. Adjust the base leveling screw till the bubble come at the centre of spirit level. Clamp the prism holder.
One may also ask, why the spectrometer is set for parallel rays?
A collimator is positioned to convert diverging rays to parallel rays, simply because that is its intended purpose, and is the definition of the word collimate in the context of optics. The better the optical alignment, the sharper the image.
Why are telescope and collimator adjusted for parallel rays of light?
The purpose of a telescope is to form an image of a distant object. Even so, most telescopes have a focus control for fine adjustment. A collimator is positioned to convert diverging rays to parallel rays, simply because that is its intended purpose, and is the definition of the word collimate in the context of optics.
