Get started for free(a) Find the maximum number of lines per centimeter a diffraction grating can have and produce a maximum for the smallest wavelength of visible light. (b) Would such a grating be useful for ultraviolet spectra? (c) For infrared spectra?
Find the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 45.0º.
The analysis shown in the figure below also applies to diffraction gratings with lines separated by a distance . What is the distance between fringes produced by a diffraction grating having 125 lines per centimeter for light, if the screen is away?
The distance between adjacent fringes is, assuming the slit separation d is large compared with.
What type of experimental evidence indicates that light is a wave?
Consider a spectrometer based on a diffraction grating. Construct a problem in which you calculate the distance between two wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in your spectrometer. Among the things to be considered are the wavelengths you wish to be able to distinguish, the number of lines per meter on the diffraction grating, and the distance from the grating to the screen or detector. Discuss the practicality of the device in terms of being able to discern between wavelengths of interest.
