Chapter 36, Problem 36.55P
CP CALC In a large vacuum chamber, monochromatic laser light passes through a narrow slit in a thin aluminum plate and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen that is 0.620 m from the slit. When the aluminum plate has a temperature of 20.0 C, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern is 2.75 mm. What is the change in the width of the central maximum when the temperature of the plate is raised to 520.0°C? Does the width of the central diffraction maximum increase or decrease when the temperature is increased?

Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.
In the lab, you want to use a spectrometer to study the emission spectrum of a gas. This device works by having the light go through a diffraction grating and then carefully measuring the angle at which the light exits the grating. The problem is that the grating that you have is not labeled, so you do not know the spacing. To calibrate the spectrometer, you send a HeNe laser (wavelength 632.8nm) through the grating and observe it to exit at an angle of 37.6° in the second order by this grating. (For obscure technical reasons, the first order is not observable.) Light from the gas is then measured to be deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?
When an x-ray beam is scattered off the planes of a
crystal, the scattered beam creates an interference
pattern. This phenomenon is called Bragg scattering. For
an observer to measure an interference maximum, two
conditions have to be satisfied:
1. The angle of incidence has to be equal to
the angle of reflection.
2. The difference in the beam's path from a
source to an observer for neighboring
planes has to be equal to an integer
multiple of the wavelength; that is,
2d sin(0) = mx for m = 1, 2, ....
The path difference 2d sin(0) can be determined from
the diagram (Figure 1). The second condition is known as
the Bragg condition.
