    Light consisting of two separate wavelengths, 450 nm and 650 nm, falls onto a diffraction grating. The grating is labelled 600 lines per mm.
    Calculate the angular separation between the first order maximum of the two wavelengths.

    Why exactly is theta different for different wavelenghts?

    • @yuno9121
      @yuno9121 6 лет назад +1

      maybe because different wavelengths have different angles

    • @thefigmaster3519
      @thefigmaster3519 5 лет назад

      the amount of diffraction depends on how close the width of the slit is to the wavelength, so light of different wavelengths different amounts for a give slit width, resulting in different values for theta

    • @jordanrandal5540
      @jordanrandal5540 7 лет назад +2

      I'm in the fifth grade at my school. We haven't talked about lasers or diffraction gratings yet. It's my Dad that bugs me about this stuff. At home we got some diffraction gratings that have 1000 lines/mm and a red laser pointer but it doesn't work. We only get 3 dots no matter what we try. We don't get higher order image pairs like you do in your video. So we are getting more diffraction gratings with less lines per mm. Yours has 300 lines/mm. In a few days we will be able to try this with 100, 300, and 600 lines/mm. It will mean a lot to my Dad to see the higher order image pairs in his lifetime.

    CAN YOU SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
    consider a one-dimensional array of scatterers with spacing s=1.5 microns. I shine a light of 532 nm wavelength perpendicularly onto this array and look at the back-scattered light on a screen far from the array.
    How many diffraction "spots" should I see on the screen? Please enter an integer number.

    • @WaddiaS
      @WaddiaS 8 лет назад +4

      d = 1.5 x 10^-6 m
      lambda = 532 x 10^-9 m
      For maximum n of fringes/ spots,
      theta = 90
      therefore n = (d.sintheta)/ lamba
      You're gonna observe 2.8x2 = approx 6 diffraction spots
      Correct me if my discretion is wrong. And thanks for the food for thought :)
