Question

In.5) Light with a wavelength of 540nm is incident on a diffraction grating that has 8500 lines/cm. Calculate the angles of the maxima?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given data

1. As per the given question ;

Light of the wavelength, $lambda equals space 540 n m space$

Diffraction grating ,N = 8500lines/cm

Now we have find out the angles of maxima here ,

2. Hence , according to the equation , w= $1 over N$ , can be used to calculate the slit separation from the number of lines .

we use the equation , $m lambda equals w sin theta subscript m$ , where $theta subscript m space i s space t h e space g i v i n g space t h e space l o c a t i o n space o f space t h e space m space t h space o r d e r space m a x i m a space comma space m equals 1 comma 2 space comma 3 space..... space e t c space$

Now using the following equation , now we finding out the angles of the maxima .
