PLEASE SOLVE THESE I NEED HELP!!

Transcribed Image Text:7.
A helium-cadmium laser emits blue light at a wavelength of 441.6
nm. Assume this light is incident on a diffraction grating of 5500
lines per centimeter. Determine the angle at which one would
observe the second order maximum.
A. 12°
B. 19°
C. 29°
D. 42°
8.
Refer to the diffraction grating in question #7. If a second blue
laser (this time an Argon-ion laser, with a wavelength greater than
441.6 nm) is also incident on the grating along with the original
laser, and the angular difference in the first order maxima of the
two wavelengths is 0.5°, determine the wavelength of the Argon-
ion laser.
A. 445 nm
B. 457 nm
C. 470 nm
D. 481nm
9.
If the diffraction grating used in question #8 was changed to have
10000 lines per cm, would the two lasers show more or less
angular difference?
A. more
B. less
C. The difference would be unchanged
