You are directing a laser at a diffraction grating with 300 line per mm to project diffracted images onto a wall to measure distances for each order and calculate their associated angles and wavelenths. If the grating used had actually contained fewer lines per meter, what differences would you expect? Explain.
A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the eyepiece and out the objective, and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon.
a. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.1 m diameter beam of 690 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread, in radians, of the beam?
b. Neglecting atmospheric effects, what is the diameter of the spot this beam would make on the Moon, assuming a lunar distance of 3.84×108 m?
