(b)

Answer to Problem 60P
If the apparatus is submerged in the water the angle of the second order ray in the diffraction grating that has
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The number of grooves per
From equation (1) formula to calculate angle of
Here,
The whole apparatus is now submerged into water therefore the wavelength of the incident light will be reduced to factor of the refractive index of water.
The new incident wavelength is
Here,
Substitute
From equation (6), substitute
Conclusion:
Therefore, if the apparatus is submerged in the water the angle of the second order ray in the diffraction grating that has
(c)

(c)

Answer to Problem 60P
The relation between the diffracted rays for the part (a) and part b is
Explanation of Solution
for the part (a) from equation (1),
For second order ray substitute
From equation (4) for the second part when the apparatus is submerged in water,
Form equation (5) Substitute
For second order, ray substitute
Compare equation (8) and (10).
Substitute
Here,
From equation (11), it is evident that it can be expressed in terms of law of refraction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the two diffracted rays of part (a) and part (b) is related through law of refraction.

- A spectra is a graph that has amplitude on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis. A harmonic spectra simply draws a vertical line at each frequency that a harmonic would be produced. The height of the line indicates the amplitude at which that harmonic would be produced. If the Fo of a sound is 125 Hz, please sketch a spectra (amplitude on the Y axis, frequency on the X axis) of the harmonic series up to the 4th harmonic. Include actual values on Y and X axis.arrow_forwardSketch a sign wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forwardSketch a sine wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forward
