A tungsten–halogen bulb emits a continuous spectrum ofultraviolet, visible, and infrared light in the wavelengthrange 360 nm to 2000 nm. Assume that the light from atungsten–halogen bulb is incident on a diffraction gratingwith slit spacing d and that the first-order brightness maximum for the wavelength of 1200 nm occurs at angle  θ Whatother wavelengths within the spectrum of incident light willproduce a brightness maximum at this same angle  θ[Opticalfilters are used to deal with this bothersome effect when acontinuous spectrum of light is measured by a spectrometer.]

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
