Calibration And Resolution Make The Spectrum Visible

Wide Lines Are Resolved

The equality boundary counts as resolved.

The equality boundary counts as resolved. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The equality boundary is resolved

The calibrated channels are 11 and 14, giving separation 3.

∣14−11∣=3|14 - 11|=3

At the threshold, the resolved bit is one

The separation equals the resolution, so the resolved bit is 1.
