Chapter 33, Problem 48EAP
For your science fair project you need to design a diffraction grating that will disperse the visible spectrum (400-700 nm) over 30° in first order.
a. How many lines per millimeter does your grating need?
b. What is the first-order diffraction angle of light from a sodium lamp (

X rays of wavelength 0.0820 nm are scattered from the atoms of a crystal. The second-order maximum in the Bragg
reflection occurs when the angle is 20.5°. (Figure 1)

nm
A laser beam with wavelength λ = 675 nm hits a grating with n = 4750 grooves per centimeter.
A. Calculate the grating spacing, d, in centimeters.
B. Find the sin of the angle, θ2, at which the 2nd order maximum will be observed, in terms of d and λ.
C. Calculate the numerical value of θ2 in degrees.
1. a. If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be a
phase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? How
can you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in either
beam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials.
b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses
(hint: it's thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nm
is used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and
35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.
