Does the diffracted mode of a diffraction grating that is being
illuminated by laser light have a bandwidth? I understand that the
spectral line has a line width spatially, but what about in terms of
frequency.

Thanks for your time

This is a poorly formulated. Are you talking about spatial, temporal, or
both kinds of frequencies? Try again.
