he figure shows light of wavelength λ incident at angle φ on a reflection grating of spacing d. We want to find the angles θm at which constructive interference occurs. a. The figure shows paths 1 and 2 along which two waves travel and interfere. Find an expression for the path-length difference ∆r = r2 − r1. b. Show that the zeroth-order diffraction is simply a “reflection.” That is θo = φ. c. Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident at φ = 40o on a reflection grating having 700 reflection lines/mm. Find all angles θm at which light is diffracted. Negative values of θm are interpreted as an angle left of the vertical. d. Draw a picture showing a single 500 nm light ray incident at θm = 40o and showing all the diffracted waves at the correct angles.

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.
